Animatic

We have used our storyboards to create an animatic of our music video, which gives a general idea of how the video will link to the song and the order of events. Through making this video, we have gained a clear idea about our own strengths and weaknesses for this project, for example I realise now that I am a lot more suited to editing work. We have got a relatively clear idea now of how the video will be structured, and have overcome certain problems that would've arose while creating the video, for example we originally planned on using a timelapse shot at the start, but now realise that the alternative shot (the close up of a clock which zooms out and shows the worker in an office) is a lot more suited to the theme of the video, and will work a lot better.

We have shown this video to several of our friends, and have recieved quite positive feedback. The general view is that the video will work well, and our ideas are closely linked to this particular music genre. Several of the audience who were shown this video commented on our use of narrative with performance, and agreed that the two will work very well alongside each other. Whilst everyone who was shown the video liked the links between our video and our chosen song (namely the links with escapism), some commented that we could feature the narrative section slightly more within the video, for example at the start before the first 'drop' in the song, as opposed to the meetup scenes. The reasoning for this, is that some would prefer to be introduced to the narrative right from the start, as opposed to midway through the song. We have taken this into consideration, and are still deciding which scene would work best, but this feedback has been very useful in helping us structure our video.
