Creating An Anamatic Of The Music Video

Rough


Here is a rough anamatic of our overall music video. Creating an anamatic helped me to get a better understanding of and estimate the length of the time needed for each shot. The only disadvantage of this is that it's very time consuming, whereas we could be out shooting instead of drawing up an anamatic. It also helped us to do a re-take on footage we've yet to film, for example, at first we agreed not to use the band and in the anamtic we saw that there were shots where we actually did need to involve a band. This was helpful in terms of allowing us to make the decision at such an early stage then instead of doing it whilst shooting. The final anamatic shows this:

The final anamatic is now FINALLY complete. And in comparison to the last anamatic, its come a really long way. We agreed to use the band within the video because including them would tie in with the codes and conventions of the particular genre of the style of the song.
There is also the hint of a storyline within the video, but it is only merely a suggestion, we still dont want the audience to follow any particular plot within the video because that would be going against the codes and conventions thus rendering the video as an unprofessional piece of media.
We wanted to have as little restrictions in terms of what content we have in our video and due to the codes and conventions and our target audience's will more than likely expect explicit and extreme content because of how explicit and extreme the band is and their style of music is too.

Here is a piece of practice video to help us flesh out our ideas and also rehearse editing to a music track. We have managed to adhere to most of the codes and conventions for the particular genre of music. However, their could have been a wider variety of shots and angles. Also, it was difficult to edit to the pace of the opening lyrics - this can be seen where one or two shots enter slightly late. Overall though i feel that we did quite well.
