Pre-Storyboard Shotlists, Storyboards and Animatics

Pre- Storyboard Shot list

We began our storyboard process by creating a Pre-Storyboard Shotlist. This consists of our initial sequence of shots for our drama.

We mostly wrote down the main shots in the short film.

After this we drew up the storyboard.

Animatics

We drew out each shot on sticky notes and re-arranged them until we were happy with the result. We found out this process was quite long but detailed well the idea visually.

This meant that we saved some time and we weren't constantly rubbing out drawings because we had missed out a shot out.

We then put all of the sticky notes onto black paper and took pictures of each one individually.

They were then all put onto Final Cut Express and edited together along with recorded voice overs and soundtrack, though the music doesn't finalize the actual soundtrack we would use, but gives an idea of what we are going for in our film, so to help us visualize our final product.



We got the music from a site called incompetech, which offers royalty free music and arranges tracks by mood, genre and time period. So we would be definently using this in future.

Here is a picture of us doing the animatics on final cut express.














This is the final product of our animatics. Creating the animatics has helped us see where there could be problems in our film and we can now try and prevent them.
