Animatic storyboard



Personally i feel as if the making and editing of the animatic storyboard was highly productive and useful in terms of preparation for both what we are looking to achieve in terms of shots on the day of our shoot and also in the editing process. We filmed each still from our storyboard for 10 seconds and then cut them together using Final Cut Pro which seems distinctively easier to use now than it did when i was cutting my preliminary task this time last year. Each member of the group took it in turns (as well as offering help and constructive contributions where possible) to edit sections of the animatic storyboard and i feel as if we all worked very well together in the process.

Initially, half way through cutting the storyboard together it became clear that we had misjudged some timings and so had to go back and piece together what we had got wrong. although this proved irritating, it was a useful process to have to undergo in order to see the way in which things can potentially go wrong with our real editing in the future so that we can avoid them.

In conclusion, creating the animatic storyboard was not too challenging a process as a whole, yet it has left me feeling confident that i will be able to effectively work with my group to cut together the real video in a professional and constructive way.

To whom It may concern,

We are a group of A level media students from Hurtwood House School.
We are writing to you for permission to film in Guildford town center and other surrounding areas for our coursework. The video would consist of people wandering the streets. There are two different groups within our video, this is made up youths and a group of the older generation. The youths will be leading the older generation by a guitar lead as bait to capture them. All of the capturing will be filmed in our studios at school.

The video will not be defamating the image of your town what so ever, there will also be no reference to  the name of the town or any street names. Any mess will be automatically cleared up. We will be supervised by our teachers under strict instructions. We also are writing to possibly get permission to shoot a wide shot of Guildfords Skatepark? again any mess will be cleared. The video has currently been set in date for Wednesday the 9th of November. We are planning to film at around about 4:00pm In Guildford after spending the morning filming at school.

We would appreciate a response and hope to hear from you soon.

Many thanks
