Animatic Diary Entry


Today during our flexible learning day we first of all finished our groups storyboard, adding in all the appropriate text and colouring the images to make them look good. We then scanned the images onto the computer using Paint Shop Pro 7, and then copied all the images into Windows Movie Maker. Using these images, we then put them into the correct order of our storyboard, and edited each image, to make them move/make them look like a short film sequence. We also added other images that were drawn on Paint to ensure the animatic looked as realistic as possible. 

The problems that we encountered throughout the day were that at the start of the day we did not have the correct equipment, and the computers power was not working, we overcome this by contacting the technician and having the problem resolved. Another problem that we encountered was that we struggled with time to complete our work, we overcome this by using some our pictures for other shots aswell, so this saved time with drawing extra shots and colouring. A final problem that we encountered was that we didn't finish all of our storyboard in the time available, we overcome this by completing what little we had left to do in the next lesson.

What went well in our group was that we worked well as a team, and completed our work to a good standard, we also worked hard on our animatic and had no trouble editing the images and shots to make it look good.
