As well as merely creating a generic static timeline storyboard, we created an animatic storyboard using iMovie. The advantages of this type of storyboard are that it allows you to see if any of the shots are too long in duration, and if the music suitably links to the visuals. Sam put it together by importing each of the slides into iMovie before arranging them and adding the music. See the animatic storyboard below:
On reflection of the animatic storyboard, we were able to conclude with the following points:
- We need to add a couple more close-up shots into the film to vary our shot types more
- We need to properly establish the 180 degree rule during the initial chase scene
- We need to use separate shots of the actors' faces during the conversation about fire wood
- We need to add more shots as the opening sequence is 19 seconds short of the required 2 minutes
Overall, producing an animatic storyboard has proved useful, in that it allowed us to rectify some flaws in the opening sequence, prior to filming it, which saved time in the long run (such as in not having to re-shoot or re-plan on location).
