Evaluation of animatic

Feedback from the teacher

Whilst trying to sort and prepare for our presentation it became apparent that we had difficulties trying to intergrate the music into the animatic. After many attempts of inserting music and sounds into our animatic, we decided that we would play music from itunes whilst the animatic was playing.

We used a combination of drawings, photographs and CGI in order to show the narrative of our animatic. Sound and special effects have been used so that we get a better idea of how our final extract will appear. It also enabled us to distinguish problems in the extract, this helped us make various improvements.

During the presentation we used a combination of moving and still images to help show our audience members- teenagers- what they should expect to see in our actual thriller extract.

As part of conducting our presentation we had to form 100 questionnaires and get feedback and opinions from this.
Our feedback included:

-An action thriller
-Suspense
-A male lead
-The plot to be revealed
-A plot twist
-Fast paced music
-Special effects
-Fit men

For our opening two minutes of a thriller film we have collectively decided to create a CGI style credits sequence involving patterns and colours with titles appearing in a similar style to the sort of opening credits seen in films such as James Bond and Seven.
