An animatic storyboard

An animatic storyboard is the filmed version of the storyboards drawings . The shots are timed to what the actual shots will supposedly look like . This helps highlight any problems . An animatic is the best visual way to show the flow of the narrative . Unlike storyboards it is actual filmed footage , so is more visually accurate than the storyboard .

An animatic storyboard has been really useful for our group as it gives a better idea of how the scene will look and feel with motion and timing . It also gives a better indication of the narrative than the storyboard because of its film footage . It also highlights the issues with editing , camera angles and timing problems that might have not been obvious at the first time .

Looking at our animatic storyboard I am not sure that we have enough shots , but some of the shots can just be similar , when for example the person is turning or doing any other movement . We are now planning to stick with this timeline and follow the shots that we have created .
