#sequential structures

For the final part of the animatic, I put it all together in a video for editing. I recorded the voice lines for the animatic, and after this it was smooth sailing. There were a few scenes where I had to reuse certain panels, but overall it was a smooth sequence from start to finish.

The intro to storyboarding was started by being given different scripts from movies and choosing how we would storyboard them, and from there acted out the storyboard. Making the storyboard itself was fairly easy, but finding compromise between team members was a little bit harder. We managed to find an agreement, but it took much longer than we expected to film the storyboard. Putting it together afterwards was fairly easy, although I did feel like we were being overseen more than necessary and a lot of the editing was done for us. But we managed to put the film together, and present it to the class.

The next step in the module would be to write up a script for the short animatic we’d be making. We studied how professionals write up their storyboards, and how they would incorporate not only the dialogue, but camera shots and movement as well. We were given templates to work with, and were instructed on how each piece of it came together to make a script. I managed to finish mine up, along with the summary, a little later than the rest of the class, but was still ready to come in for making a storyboard the following week.
