Once we had completed our storyboard, we filmed each individual picture up against the wall so that when it came to editing, we could put them all together and create our animatic.
The whole editing process was quite quick considering there were a lot of individual drawings from our storyboard. We did however encounter a few problems with Final Cut and found that it crashed a few times and lost our animatic. It was okay though as we quickly caught up.
During the feedback session where we played the animatic to the class and teachers, we received a lot of feedback. It was apparent that the performance element was a bit confusing and we were advised to inter cut the band throughout our whole video. A lot of the pictures came across unclear and so when it came to the sets we found that the tea party scene really needs to go full out with props and set design.
The ending was also unclear as there was a misunderstanding with the age of the actors and how it might look strange with a young girl at school with a teenager. This is something we need to think about in terms of when it comes to our production. We thought about maybe changing small elements but we still need to finalise the end.
The chaotic scene in the hallway was also a scene that we need to think through as it is our main wide shot and is featured a lot throughout. We have been told to think about who is in the scene, what aer they wearing and what are they doing as it has to maintain a sense of continuity to look good.
This then led to the upstairs scene which means there must be something in the hallway as a reason for the girl to be running upstairs, otherwise it could look strange just running from nothing.
The only other thing to sort out and finalise is the props and costumes but that will all be sorted for the final production.
Overall our animatic will be really helpful when it comes to our production and I found that it worked really well for our group.
