Animatic

On the link below you will find a short animatic we have created, in a storyboard format. It will give an idea of our story, but is only a guide line, as aspects of our trailer will change over time and throughout the creative process.

Whilst creating our animatic due to practcalities, one of the members of our team had to go out alone to take the photo's. Unfortunetly, this ment we were limited in the fact we could not get all the characters in our practice shots, we can see this in our first shot where we were unable to show all the characters we intended, however we are still able to visualise the scene. As we had not created the poster for the rave we did not include it in our animatic, later we decided as this rave was illegal it would be more appropriate for the characters to spread the word through a text message, we adapted this in our 2nd storyboard. Originally we planned to have a shot of all the chracters, ready for the party in the car, with the camera on the dashboard however as the shot was too close to get everyone in, we could only show the driver, when filming to reinforce the image of reckless teenagers we showed them to be irresponsibly driving with loud music playing. We found it difficult to drive close enough to a tree in order to give the illusion that we'd crashed, as we wanted a realistic effect we decided to change the plot, to the car braking down, we change this in our second storyboard. Although we had not arranged our props we took various photos of the trees and the setting around us in order to get a variety of different angle shots we'd use and to get a feel for the setting, we also had a shot of the back seat of the car where one of our characters would lie injured from the crash however as the plot changed we cut this scene. When we came across a dark scary hut we also decided to developed some of are errie out side scenes and move them into this dank scary room, this can also be seen in our second storyboard.
