Changes from storyboard to animatic
Whilst making our first animatic, we ran into a unforeseen problem with our short film. We had written the timing on our storyboard, and once they were all in sequence, the film was far too short, lasting only a couple of minutes.We had not anticipated this whilst designing the storyboard, and we had to change the animatic in order to get as close to five minutes in length as possible. We decided between us what shots we would make longer, why this would be so, and for how long each shot would then last. We decided, in particular, to extend the shot lengths during the kidnapping scene. The shots in this sequence were able to be longer because holding the shots builds the pace slower, and as this is a scene where the protagonist if followed then kidnapped, the slower pace will make for a greater build up to the final scene. We also focused on the scenes within the shopping centre, deciding that slightly longer lasting shots would add more context. After we made the changes to the duration of the shots, our sequence lasted about 4:48 without title or credits, which was long enough to meet the criteria.
