Animatics

On Friday 13th February we filmed our story board that we had previously drawn, we did this using the flip. As we started to film the first page of our story board we realised the font was too hard to see as it wasnt bold enough which meant we then had to do it again. We solved this problem quickly and effectivly so we were able to get on with filming. We will be using our storyboard to look back on and use as a reference when it comes to filming. 

 As we filmed our animatics in the classroom the backgrond noise was a little distracting, therefore we made the decision to delete this when we edited it. We uploaded our footage to Final Cut Express. Our first step was to lock the section we wanted to keep which was the pictures, which then left the sound unlocked making it easier to delete. This was really simple and straightforward which meant we were able to complete this task quickly. We then had to render our footage, we did this by pressing 'Ctrl' and 'R'. We found that this really wasnt challenging but was a really good programme to use to achieve exactly what we wanted, we also found it to be really simple and straightforward.
