Animatic

This was our very first task. We were to make an animatic for a thriller called "Terror In The Night". I think that we did very well as a group although we did encounter some problems, but we easily solved them with each others help.

We learnt how to use Adobe Premier Pro and Adobe SoundBooth. These were vital for accomplishing our animatic. For the Camera we learnt how to use the motion tool to help invoke panning into our animatic. This helped to make the whole piece appear more realistic. We also used directional arrows to show the characters movements. A good example of this is at 0.39secs. We tried to make it appear as a POV shot.

In terms of editing, we learnt how to shrink and expand our shot lengths varying upon the amount of suspense and tension we wanted to create. I think that the editing in this piece was quite effective as we were able to construct when we wanted the tension and suspense to occur.

The sound used was made in SoundBooth. We had some pre-recorded sounds which we used, this was in the first part- the slow footsteps. The other sounds were made by us. i think that the sound worked very well with the editing.

Overall i think that we did very well. Our pictures were clear and they helped to make a clear meaning to the animatic. However, in future endeavours we must be more organised and be able to work to deadlines.
