Lesson 15 And 16

Lesson 15 mostly helped our group with its storyboard as we was given feedback regarding what we had drawn so far. The criticisms about our storyboard were that there weren't many shots and that there had to be more title communicated through the storyboard as we had only 7 when we drew it for the first time. This lesson helped us a lot as it gave us a chance to make those necessary changes to the storyboard in order to correct that feedback we was given in order to make it the best and most detailed storyboard possible. We as a group thought that doing a photo animatic of our title sequence would be the best idea for us but as we couldn't get to our setting at that point, we had to do the photos in a different setting with different props and costumes . The animatic did not go well and so we decided to get rid of the idea of doing an animatic as it wouldn't work unless we had all the props and the setting and costume that is required for our storyboard. Instead i think we shall just photocopy the whole storyboard and transfer it to our blogs so that we have a version of it on here and i also think we should attempt to perhaps do an animatic but instead of taking pictures of our real life character, i think we should go back to the original idea of photographing the storyboard and adding the soundtrack that we are going to make in behind it to get an idea of what our title sequence will look like. The reason we didn't do this type of animatic before is because our storyboard didn't have enough detail and shots in it before but now we have drawn the more detailed one we can photograph this and possible make the animatic.

In lesson 16 i re-drew the storyboard for our group with more shots and more detail, including 4 extra titles on top of the titles that we had already made. I used the comments that we got back on our storyboard as positives as i thought that not many comments were given about the storyboard lack of quality or the idea in fact and so i used that as a good point and made the needed corrections to the title sequence storyboard. This lesson helped me very much as it gave me a chance to make those vital corrections to the storyboard and finish the storyboard in that lesson so that we are ready to film our title sequence. We then made a Gmail calendar which helped out a lot with organising our work and making sure that we all know the deadline dates for specific pieces of work so that we never get behind. The calendar helped out with many different aspects for example, it helps by get the group organsied and having a deadline date for pieces of work, makes the work get completed that all more bit faster. Also have deadline dates set shows me if the group is doing the work and if they are concentrating on the tasks that are due in. Finally with this calendar it shows you who is making creating the events and deadlines on it so we can see who is contributing to the work and who is not.
