Animatic

This is our animatic.

It shows the begining 28 seconds introduction set and goes through around 20 seconds of the first verse. The first 14 seconds of the animatic shows the constant switch between the gangsters and the geeks in the library. This is to give an introduction to the characters and shows a build up of tension within the music beat. It shows the gangsters getting gradually closer to the library door, whilst the geeks are seemingly unknown to this and are just getting on with their reading etc. We will use parallel editing to create this effect in the video.

We are aiming to get the timing correct so that as the song becomes alive and energetic, to the same point as where the gangsters have reached the library doors. This then becomes similar to the first 14 seconds where parallel editing is used still to switch between the geeks and gangsters. This will continue to about 21/22 seconds in where we will have a shot of the gangsters and geeks who have come to a point of meeting. We will then use the 6 seconds before the vocals begin, to have a 2 seconds sot of each the gangsters, the geeks and then both groups together in a shot. In each of these shots the actors will be pulling a stereotypical pose of their group.

The vocals then begin and the camera will concentrate on the geek vocalist who will be rapping the song. This becomes different shots of weird things that are basically taking the mickey of the song, the unusual twist.
