Analysis of Animatic

My group and I created a storyboard of the first 2 minutes of our film. We then took pictures of each picture of the storyboard and uploaded them to the computer. We added the pictures into the editing software we use called premiere. We then ordered the pictures into the correct sequence along the timeline. We then cut and extended the time of how long each picture would play for, relevant to how long we want that scene to last when actually filming.
          We added music over the top. The music is called Slam by Pendulum. This music is copyrighted and we will not be able to use copyright music in our real film but we decided to use this piece of music in our animatic as it was catchy, upbeat and went with the idea of our film. We will have to use uncopyrighted music in our real film. We found it easier to find copyrighted music we liked as copyrighted music is more widely distributed and easily available to get hold of as opposed to uncopyrighted music. The music we have fades into the animatic as opposed to just starting to play as we want to increase tension by increasing the music slowly in the animatic. We will most likely do something similar in our real film.  
          We added editing titles and production company titles in a similar sequence to that of a real film as we wanted the animatic to be as close as possible to showing a resemblence to a real film. The titles fade in using different animations like fade in and compress. We wanted the titles to be introudced into the film so the audience are aware they are there but also slightly unnoticable so the audience can focus on the action. We only had titles in the first 15 -20 seconds of our animatic.
         We used slide transitions inbetween scenes as to make the audience notice the scene has changed and the setting is different. The editing techniques used were appopriate and suitable for our film. We made sure that they were subtle but so the audience notices a change inbetween scenes.
