Trailer Animatics

With our completed storyboards we have created our animatics but we haven't completed the music for the trailer yet so we have created sound effects for now and dialogue. The cuts are slightly too quick at the moment as when we actually do the filming we think that they may be a little longer. This is no surprise to us as from previous work we have realised that our filming may not be exact to our storyboards because ideas can change as they can look different once filmed. The animatics have helped us visualise what are trailer is going to be like and has helped us imagine our ideas. However, we are going to work more on our script and music obviously as I think this will make a big improvement and difference. You can see that in our animatics we have tried to use different angles to create different atmospheres as well as making rhe trailer more interesting. We have used a point of view shot from the character (Megan) as she walks in and discovers the footsteps on the floor. Looking down on them makes the audience feel as if they are there with the character and draws them into the mystery. Another technique we are planning to use is at split screen as we have previously discovered how to do this on Final Cut Express and feel that we need to take this chance to show the new technique we have learnt. The split screen reveal more than one angle and also more than one action happening. We think that this will help build the tension of the film as the audience have a lot to concentrate on.
