In order to gain a better understanding of how the final video might look, we are going to build an animatic. Most animatics are (as the name suggests) low quality animations based on storyboards, which plan out the series of events in a film or video. Because our video is less narrative and more conceptual, we were advised against doing a drawn animatic. Instead, we are going to use an iphone to produce a rough video will give us a vague idea of how the finished product might turn out. There were several things which needed to be organized first.- We sent the lyrics to Maria, who will be performing it. This is vital, as knowing her lines will automatically give her confidence.
- We will have to perform the rollerskating section in the pavilion as we cannot drive to the actual location for the animatic. The pavilion is the theater studies dept. turf so we had to ask Doug, head of performing arts, for permission to use it.
- We arranged recording times for all the performers. Maria and the extras (who will be filmed in the studio for the actual shoot) will be filmed in the media classroom, against the whiteboard.
