Working on the Animatic

A view of our Animatic in Final Cut express

We uploaded our storyboards into Final Cut Express in order to make our storyboard into a short video.  We did encounter some problems when trying to produce the Animatic such as the files where not opening correctly and saving correctly and so in the end we had to save our animatic on a hard drive. We recorded our script that we produced into Final cut Express. Channan played Mitch the son and Vivienne played Stan the father. When recording our script we matched the script to the images and ensured that we got the timing correct.

When it came to recording we added sound effects that would be heard so that the animatic could seem more real rather than images changing.  We incorporated some good sounds that would be heard in everyday households such as when the father is cooking breakfast we incorporated a frying sound and the footsteps we created as well.  We also added an underlying theme tune that was copyright free. We really targeted on how we was going to set the scene and what music should be added in order to relate to what is happening.
