Animatic

When putting together our animatic, we realised that we didn't have enough footage to cover the whole two minutes. When we thought we had put it together we were 30 seconds short. This the  meant that we missed our deadline for our animatic. By realising that we didn't have enough, we had to think about adding in some more ideas to the end of our sequence. If we found it easier to think of these ideas we might still have been able make the deadline. We had many problems when it came to thinking about ideas to add in. We realised that we wouldn't be able to add anything in into the middle of the sequence. One reason why we couldn't do this was because it would interfere with he material we already had and by doing this we might also have had to change some of our other ideas.

Once considering all of our ideas that we had, we decided that the only way our title sequence would still make sense and wouldn't ruin the ideas we already had was to add more scenes in at the end.  This is when we came up with the idea of adding in a scene were we went back five years to a incident that had already happened.

When reviewing our problems and mistakes it become recognisable that we wouldn't have had these problems if we had properly thought about the timings of each transition and shot length. For example we could have actually estimated how much we actually had and how long a transition was. By doing this it would have allowed us to be aware of the length of the sequence and i we needed to add anything else, this could have been completed by the deadline.

Now that our animatic is now completely finished, we need to make sure that we make the rest of our deadlines so that we are back on track. The next stage that we need to do is to finish and to continue filming. Once we have got some of our footage, this will then enable is to start editing this, which will hopefully give us more time to finish of the editing and make sure our final title sequence it to a high standard if we start it earlier whilst we are still filming.

Below is our animatic:
