AS Media Animatic Movie : Wrong Direction

This is our animatic film opening which is called Wrong Direction. This film was made from the drawings and crayons we did on a flexible learning day, these pictures was on a storyboard so we had each shot on a different sqaure piece of paper, underneath it was the camera angle and shot, we had put the type of angle of each shot so we can interprate this in our animatic film opening. Other than camera angles we also put the dialogue of each shot, this is so that we know what is being said by each character in the shot, the camera movement was also included on each shot.

Here is an image of what we had written on the story which consist of the picture of that shot, dialogue, camera movement and also camera angles. The picture has been half cut out of where we had written about the exachange of dialogue in each shot and camera angles and movements ect.

When we had drawed the pictures and coloured them we had then scanned them and then crop the images using paint, some of the images we had edited in paint to make more better quality and to add props and scenary such as a path with grass.

(picture below showing this)

When we had finshed cropping and editing the images i then made sure that every image was the same size (470x320) because when the images went from shot to shot their was a black gap between the video player and the edge of the image, I did this because i felt it may disorentate the viewer so i made the images the same size.

Making the animatic film we edited it all in a software called windows movie maker. In windows movie maker we added a video transition between each shot such as a fade, at the last shot which is the disfigured man with a unique weapon we faded that shot as that was the end of the animatic film. In our animatic film we also included video effects such as ease in or ease out which was zooming in on a shot or zooming out of a shot.
