I am not the best at drawing and so animatics have never been my favourite thing to do but I did the best I could and I am fairly pleased with the way the pictures look as I think that they represent the shots quite well. Whilst thinking of what shots to show I tried to think about different editing techniques. I have tried to use lots of continuity editing within my animatic as this is what I will be using in my opening sequence.
The first editing technique I had used is match-on-action:
I have also used match-on-action a bit further into my animatic as Grace opens the fridge door. This enables me to show the same thing happening without it having to last too long as one shot making it boring for the viewer.
I would also like to use jump cuts as Bethany's tablets are shown. This will make the shot of her tablets less boring and it will be changing quite quickly but it will also still be the same shot!
I have decided not to use music in my opening sequence as I think it will be more effective if I use diegetic sound. I am using the sound of Grace scrubbing the door over the titles too as I think this will be effective and I think that it adds more tension to them. The rest of the sound I have will also be diegetic sound. The sounds will be things like the toaster, the fridge door and the sound of Grace pouring the milk. These everyday sounds and shots will allow the audience to connect to the characters life and so will make the story more hard hitting.
This is the final animatic. I'm not as pleased with it as I would have liked but I know when I'm filming how I want everything to look and I know what I do and don't like about my animatic so when it comes to editing my opening sequence I can refer to this and it will still help me.
