Terror in the Night

This week, we were put into groups of four.Due to our particular set of skills involving leadership,teamwork and creative; these were vital to come up with a concept for a story based upon the title "Terror in the Night".

Once we had developed an idea, we then had to create ten storyboards for the short film which required us to include additional information in regards to timing and information regarding the movement of the camera with the various transition from one shot to another.

Ultimately the activity was extremely helpful because it allowed us to practise these skills in preparation for our coursework; in particular the further development of our storyboard by editing an animatic of our conceptual short film.

The animatic was a great tool for us in regards to visually present a conceptual short film through the inclusion of music and sound effects to help express the tone of the project which couldn't be expressed through a simplistic frame.Therfore our group was very impressed with the way the animatic turned out and the impact of the inclusion of audio affected the visual presentation of the frames within the storyboards.

 

is the animatic our group had produced which presented our concept perfectly and it was a great practise for our coursework and after this brief activity, I am very eager to delve into my coursework.

To summarise the brief exercise, our group decided to take a moment to discuss our thoughts in regards to our ideas and concepts behind our story and evaluate aspects of the development of the idea from presenting it on a storyboard to an animatic in addition to elaborating on how much both forms of visual representations can have whilst each conveying particular messages of the story.
