Storyboard animation:

This is our final storyboard animation. We feel it resembles our trailer slightly although the voice overs at the moment don't feel very naturalistic so this will need to be improved. I also feel the backing track could sound more natural and less edited. There need to be a few amendments with the script as well due to timings for each shot and not being able to fit all of the speech in without it sounding rushed.
I feel the ending works really well and leaves the audience wanting more which is the aim of a trailer so I am very happy with this.
The trailer at the moment is 1 minute and ten seconds and this is without adding in title cards  and the company production logo . Our ideas for these will be further explained in the next post.
Back to the storyboard animation I feel that with more time it could be improved a lot.
There are a few differences between the animation and our trailer (besides the fact that it won't be drawn images haha) . At 0:10 secs to 0:14 when cindy is first shown it will not be edited in this way. The reason I chose to use this effect was because in the trailer we are going to have the camera tilt upwards from her feet to her face and then switch to the master shot shown afterwards.
Another difference is at 0:20 secs to 0:22 , after I started the story board animation we decided that this would be an action match and then an over shoulder shot.  During the part where we see cindy as a cheerleader and chase singing this is going to be a split screen that starts with cindy and then chase's scene slides in from the right to show a split screen.
There were a few difficulties when making the animation such as problems getting the tracks onto HD movie as the macs were malfunctioning . I also had a slight disruption with the last three images , when scanned in they became different sizes but to resolve this I took the first image and put it in photoshop and then cut the numbers from the second and third images and layered them over the first image.
Overall I think once the title cards and company logo's are added and we've sorted out an official suitable track for the trailer it will be an effective trailer.
Of course there can always be ways to improve things which hopefully we can keep coming up with ways to improve it during the process of making it so it becomes the highest standard it can be.
