Animatic

This is the animatic I created for the music video that I chose as my favorite. The animatic is for the music video The pretender by The Foo Fighters. Even though we are creating a short film and not a music video we are showing this kind of technique because we will use this technique to create our storyboard.

Initial Ideas

Our idea is to create a film. This is because this is the area that we felt most confident in. We then decided that instead of making a normal film we will create a film using live footage. Our idea was that we would have all the footage filmed from a hand held camera and then have a person playing it back on that camera that they have found. The basic storyline we have decided on so far is that we would have a group of teenagers in a car driving down a secluded road in pitch darkness. The road would be lit by the cars head lights and rear lights. Some object would appear in the road and the car would screech to a halt. The rear view mirror would show a figure being faintly lit by the brake lights and then disappear when the driver releases the brake. Some other events would happen and the camera would be knocked to the ground filming the last piece of footage of the terrible event that is unfolding.

We are yet to decide on the all of the events but our storyboard will show the complete story.
