ANAMATIC

We created our anamatic by taking individual photos of each scene on the storyboard. After this we inserted them into a program called 'iMovie' and adding the soundtrack to it. Creating our anamatic really helped us to gain an insight into the way that the music and scenes work together. It allowed us to visualise our idea and narrative better as well as how we are going to film them. Furthermore we learnt how to rhythmically cut to the beat and therefore we were able to match what was happening on the screen to the music. As well as this it also helped us to realise what camera angles that we wanted to include in our music video for example, more wide shots of the dancers exercising to cut on the beat alongside the close-ups of their routines. Moving forward we know that we need to improve on a few things, one of which is the length of the shots that we took as the shot duration was too long, as well as possibly adding another narrative strand or focus more on the DJ in the studio as this well help to enhance the video and sell the artists image.
