Animatic review (group discussion)

After creating our 'terror in the night' storyboard and animatic we decided to review it in a group discussion:


I believe the most valuable benefit of achieving this task was to see how changing the narrative would change the overall short film. We discovered that by changing the order of shots and narrative of the story, it can become more or less engaging. However in order to enable the audience to follow the story, the order of shots must reveal plot points in an easy to follow way. This therefore risks the audience not understanding certain plot points or character arcs, but if done correctly, can make the experience much more impacting.

Through this task my group also learnt how parts of the planning process worked. We now have a better understanding of how we can plan our final opening, visualise it, share ideas, and therefore make any necessary changes.
