Construction of the animatic

We used a new sonny mpeg2 sd nxcam, that was positioned on a tripod to stabilise the shots and film our paper story boards, we did this so we could transfer this onto final cut pro, the camera is a hard disk, therefore there is no tape involved and we can download this on the computer super fast. It took half an hour to shoot everything, but ten seconds per a shot. Once this was done, we then uploaded the shots onto final cut pro and started to cut the shots to the track. However the track was too long so we had to cut the track, after few trial and errors, we managed to finish the cut sounds making sure the track was clear of any errors .We went through the track and decided what the best time was to cut between shots- making note of key rhythms that will help make editing easier. Throughout the track we used markers to ensure we knew where everything was, thus would make editing easier. Becoming involved with editing has broadened my understandings of the media technology that is a necessity that has to be used. However again we had to elongate and cut shots in order to fit the music in and also reflect the mood of the music. This is important due to the fact that we were telling part of a story in our video.
