Animatic Storyboard IC

Now that I have fully completed my paper copy of my Storyboard I believe that I am in a suitable position to move onto my digital version of a storyboard, animatic storyboard. This is when you take pictures of the sketches you created for your paper storyboard, put them in order on an editing software such as Sony Vegas 7, overlay music and create a more realistic feel for the storyboard by making it into a sketched music video. I have done this by downloading my MP3 of 'What A Buzz' by Olly Murs from iTunes and using Sony Vegas 7 to edit together my pictures and music, I then used the simple 'Upload To Youtube' button that is part of the Sony Vegas 7 software and embedded it from there, this is shown below -


I believe that having created this Animatic Storyboard it has put me in a much stronger situation as I now know what I have to do in order to create a high quality production for my music video. Creating this Animatic has allowed me to visualise the actual production and notice any problems I would face in creating the video, I have most become aware of the amount of editing that will come with this music video and the different shot ideas I wish to include, this is something that I am fairly inexperience with as last year a lot of the editing was passed over to the strongest editor of the group meaning I haven't had a lot of time editing and the quality of my edits won't be as strong as others. This is something I aim to overcome with lots of practice of the coming months as I aim to perfect my music video and the editing that comes with this. The next step for me is the Location research and planning, I will be looking into suitable locations and finding places that I believe go well with my genre of music.
