Animatic

This is my animatic of my idea. I have story boarded my idea down into images that is a rough example of how I want my idea to turn out. As I am using stop framing for my idea, I realised story boarding this is extremely difficult to do, as to show each movement that would happen in the production of my real product, there would be a lot of unnecessary story boarding, so instead of this I tried to show the drastic movements so that people will have an idea of what is happening. Before presenting my animatic to the class, I showed my mock up video so that the people in my class would have a better understanding of my idea.  

My animatic has no camera angle changes, a midshot of the person in the circle will be there the whole time, including the time at the end when you see the whole group together. The objects will change depending on the person in the circle, the objects will be specific to their personalities. I have done my idea on a gang of girls, each one of them with different personalities, one who is girly, another who is creative and another who is into sport. I chose to do this as in my research I found that children expect there to be stereotypes, this way they can relate to the characters on screen. 

Feedback I got from when I presented my work was;

• With characters, maybe add another to make the opening longer, also make it so that there are multi cultural characters as this is a typical convention of a Children's TV drama that I haven't included yet. 
• Add diegetic sound, which I'd already planned on doing, but make sure that when I do add the diegetic sound that it doesn't interfere too much with the backing track I have used, they need to be in sync with each other.
• Good idea, having objects that will be associated to each characters personality will be good for targeting my specific audience. 
• When the person in the circle is moving, make sure that they will do movements that will also be specific to their personalities.

These comments I will have to take on and this should help me know how to make a good final product.   

In my AS project, the group and I didn't make a realistic storyboard, meaning our shots were much too difficult to do with the little experience we had when it came to filming. So I made sure when storyboarding my animatic and with the overviewing of my idea, that I knew, that what I wanted to do was what I was capable to do. After creating my mock up idea, I knew that the idea I had would be something I could do and do well, and so by doing that it made it easier to make my animatic and to have realistic ideas about what I wanted in my piece. This should make it more simple to create in the long run, as in my AS project, because we weren't too sure on the shots we used and our idea changed so much, this I believe was our downfall.
