Animatic

By making and creating our animatic we then understood the basic narrative for our film and had a plan of what we needed as a group to film and the right order that we need to edit.

By creating an animatic it allows us to have something to fall back on if we don't have anything planned, you can look back through your storyboard and animatic so that you know exactly what you are doing.

We used quite a lot of story boards for our because in our trailer we have a variety of fast shots. 

It's also useful to have animatics so that when you start to evaluate what it is that you've done as your final piece you can see what you have changed over time and what you have stuck with or if something has drastically changed. 
I filmed the animatic using a basic camera from home, however the format wasn't right when we were using the macs and therefore we came across a disadvantage, however we simply converted the video and changed the format so it could then be played and used for our blogs.
