Evaluated Animatic

Below is our completed animatic. Creating this allowed us to see how certain shots would fit together and how camera techniques we could use.

The first shot shows the female sitting at the end of a pontoon. This is an establishing shot as we can see clearly the female sitting and the lake and woods surrounding. This shot then slowly zooms in toward the female so we are aware that she is the main focus and to make the audience aware of her.

The next shot is a flashback shot which will be filmed in black and white to show that it shows a different time period. This shot is of the couple in bed. The start of the shot starts so that we are very close to the gap between the couple and then we slowly zoom out to see the couple and the gap between the couple.

The next shot is then of the female and this shot is a close up so we can see her emotions fully. Then shot then cuts to the male so that we can get a close up of him and his emotions. It then cuts back out to the full view of them both together so that the gap it still taken into account.

The next 3 shots to follow are of the female gradually walking towards the door. This is to make it seem more dramatic and to show that while she leaves, the male in the bed doesn't move.

The next shot is another establishing shot. The shot pans a field and reveals a sunset. The idea is to shot the different times of day so that people are aware that this story takes place over different times of the day.

The next shot is of the female running through the forest and the camera moves with her. This is to give the audience a connection with the female and so that it makes the audience feel as though they are actually there.

The next shot is a close up of the females feet. This is so that we can see just how fast she is running and it gives us a closer connection to the female and allows us to feel we are actually there with her.

The next shot is of the sunset when the sun is a little lower in the sky. This shows that it's a different time of the day.

The next shot shows the girl crying. This is made visible by the girls make up running down her face so that it is very clear she has been crying. This shot is mainly for the emotional side to the female and so that the audience get an idea of how she is feeling.

The next shot is another flashback shot. It shows the female and the male sitting of opposite sides of the bed getting dressed. This shot is so that the audience can get a sense of the distance between the two and can get a feel for their relationship.

The shot then cuts to a close up of the females hands as she's getting dressed. This clearly shows that there is a ring on her engagement finger and so the audience are aware of the full extent of their relationship. The shot then zooms into the females finger and turns into a close up of just the engagement ring.

The next shot is a side shot of the female sitting on the pontoon. The shot is close enough so that we can see she's been crying but is also far enough away so that the audience is able to see where she is and what time period it is. The shot then zooms out and we can see the setting better than we can see the female.

The next shot shows the female dropping the engagement ring into the water and this shows the audience the reason behind the females crying and her sadness. The shot then turns into a close up of the ring as it falls into the water and this is so that we can get a better look and feel as the ring goes into the water.
