R+P Post 12: Our Animatic

After finishing the storyboard, we created an animatic at school with our chosen music and sound effects that would be used on the opening sequence. This helped us to critique our film's overall package, looking at the way our sequence would tell the story and convey the genre well and keep a good level of continuity with a variety of shot types.


When working on the animatic, we saw that including a typewriter type of font would make for the best font used for the titles in the film, for it helped connote the cyber-security genre well. We also had to decide on slightly altering the shots on the storyboard in order to keep a greater continuity within the narrative, as we helped put the shots of the hacker on the tube at the specific place in the sequence in which we chose to put it. We learnt that we had to make a faster pace during the action at the end of the sequence when we put all our photos together, seeing that the shots of the chase were too long and weren't suspenseful enough to create the level of action we intended to have. We also decided that our electronic glitch song to be used in the animatic, which was also of the correct length of time that we had to aim to achieve reaching in the sequence itself.
