After filming our Animatic, it was time to edit it. We uploaded our footage onto Final Cut Pro along with our track. We initially put the track onto the timeline and we then put in the clips based on our story board timings and cut them to the beat.
The animatic helped bring our music video to life so that we could see what areas worked well and what areas needed to be improved. It also gives us practise using the cameras and editing so that we are prepared for when it comes to the real video. Such areas that appeared to work well were the quick cutting towards the second dance break and then more quick cutting between black and white Lelia during the dance break, so this is something that we will emphasise in the end product. A second area that worked well was cutting to the beat, so it is essential for us to get our dancers to have a slick routine so that we can cut accurately in the dance sections.
An issue that was raised during our animatic was that we felt the video was quite boring and moved fairly slowly, so we decided to incorporate more fast cuts in order to keep the video moving so that the audience to not get bored. A positive comment was that our animatic successfully portrays the chaos of limbo, we were worried that this idea would be difficult to portray to the audience with limbo being such an usual theme, but the animatic made it clear that this will not be such a problem.
Initially we didn't really see the point of the animatic, but once it was completed it revealed areas that were good and areas that needed improving and this will be helpful in the running up to our shoot day. The animatic also got us really excited for our shoot day as it revealed the potential that the real video has.
Here is are animatic, filmed, edited and completed:
