Planning: Animatic


The above video is the animatic to my Preliminary Task. The difficult with this animatic was deciding on the music, or sound effects that would accompany the video. In the end (because I want to create a scary film) I used mainly sound effects to add suspense to the video. The use of rain and thunder does this particular well, and as the sound is diminished after the character walks into the house it still can be heard.

All the Media Conventions that were meant to be included were featured in the animatic:
180 Degree Rule: is featured when the two of the three characters are sitting on the sofa, and all action has been along that line and wasn't crossed as there is no show of a switch.
Match-on-Action: I used this when the one character is seen to be opening a door at the beginning of the animatic.
Eye-line Match: I incorporated this rule when the phone rings at the finale of the animatic and we see the two characters look off shot and then cut to the phone.
Shot/Reverse Shot: This is used again when we see the two characters on the sofa and the conversation occurs.
