Things Learned from Storyboarding

From using FinalCut to create our animatic, we learned how to import music and shots into the program, how to input text and image overlays, and adding effects and transitions to our music video.

For the beginning of our music video, to reflect the slow pace of the music, we incorporated fading transitions. The list of transitions and effects can be seen on the right. For cuts between a chorus and verse we used an additive dissolve, which appeared a lot quicker and sharper, depicting the quicker pace of music.

For some of our shots, we are going to have camera movement and pans but we could not convey this in our drawings. We used a text overlay to show pans and movement that would occur when we film the music video.

The above screenshot shows the other effects and tools we could possibly use when editing the final video. Blurs and Lens Flares may be used as well as changing the colours of the video. We could use saturation or contrast tools when making our video.
