Oh! one minute animatic..

After choosing our favourite music video, we were then asked to re-create a chosen one minute of the video as an animatic.

What is an animatic?

In animation and special effects work, the storyboarding stage may be followed by simplified mock-ups called "animatics" to give a better idea of how the scene will look and feel with motion and timing. At its simplest, an animatic is a series of still images edited together and displayed in sequence. More commonly, a rough dialogue and/or rough sound track is added to the sequence of still images (usually taken from a storyboard) to test whether the sound and images are working effectively together. definition taken from Wikipedia.

And so the recreation of my chosen minute had to show the audience the same shots, transitions and camera angles used in the original video. This shows that i recognise important features and techniques used in the video, and i can identify why they were used, what effect they are trying to create.

The plan is to create an animatic and then a rough recreation of the one minute via amateur filming.

By doing so i can show i am able to create and follow a plan with ease, to achieve a chosen standard, also that i am skilled using a camera to get a desired effect.

In order to do my video i have to use my animatic, therefore deconstructing the minute down to each individual shot, constructing a storyboard, this would make the reconstruction of the one minute far easier.

for learning purposes, very helpful in understanding iMovie software more fully and how many frames there are in a music video.. a lot :')

excuse the spelling mistake at the end if the video ;)
