Continuity Task/Preliminary Task

• After our continuity task was set our group got to work with deciding our idea and then creating our storyboard:

• Once it was all set we arranged filming and who would play who. We used mostly whom was in our group, Elliot played the main role, Emily played the grieving sister and Ollie our friend who we recruited in played the father of the dead girl who was played by Ruby. Me and Cal both filmed and directed. 
• Cal then edited the piece together and this is our final piece:

Update: We never got the opportunity to show it to the class due to the editing not being finished on time.
Evaluation: Overall, I think we worked well as a group, we were organised in recruiting people to play parts and we worked efficiently together.

Animatics & Storyboards

A storyboard is a plan of the shots for production that usually contains a sequence of dialogue and illustrations. An animatic is an initial version of a film with there being a series of static illustrations edited together and presented in order. Dialogue or possibly a soundtrack is added to see how it flows.

From comparing the two side by side it is clear that an animatic is much more visual than a storyboard. The added sound effects/dialogue helps it come to life and enables the creators of it to see how and if it flows.
