Reflection on storyboard/animatic storyboard process

• Reflection on storyboard/animatic storyboard process
  
  Discuss how you have found the storyboarding process: 

• How has it developed over the last couple weeks? What changes have been made/suggested?

- Our storyboard has developed through adding more shots, more thought put into each shot to show meaning and putting more thought of how they could be taken.

• What challenges/frustrations have you encountered?

- We have found that we have started off and made good progress and then we come up with a new idea that we want to use somewhere in the middle of the sequence and we have to redraw the whole storyboard.

• What has your personal contribution been to this process?

- I have helped to come up with some ideas and I have drawn some of the frames on the storyboard.


Summary of Exemplars

Discuss a few things you learned from watching opening sequence exemplars. This could be:

• Things you need to avoid

- Shaky camera shots when they are not intended, don't do anything too extreme with the camera work and try not to leave gaps where something has happened in-between shots.

• Things you need to include

- Different shot types, appropriate sound, appropriate setting, smooth cuts, very accurate editing in terms of match on action and near to none or no dialogue.

• Surprises about the marking criteria

- I am surprised at how much more strict it has become in the past couple of years.
