Animatic




Here is the finished version of my animatic, featuring the song "Going to Hell" by the Brian Jonestown Massacre. I began by using a scanner to scan my storyboard in, after that I used Adobe photoshop software to crop the individual frames in preparation for my animatic. Next I used Windows Movie Maker software to create my animatic which gives the audience a brief idea of how the music video should look. I used Movie Maker as it is simpler to use than Adobe Premiere Pro and I didn't feel that it would have been necessary to use that software for this. The shots will be roughly same length in my final footage to keep up the rhythmic editing with the song. However, some of the individual shots may change in the final product.
