Update- animation evaluation and filming

Even though we finished our animation late- due to group difficulties i still believe that we did well. The problems we faced as a group were the lack of co-operation and different ideas and beliefs of what the opening should include, however near the end of production we sorted the problems out and overall created a piece that suited every ones views. The lack of co-operation taught me that in the future we should have more structure and organisation as a group and listen to every ones ideas.

After showing the animatic we received possible changes to be made:

1. We missed the 'Directed By' text in the opening.
2. An 'Establishing Shot' needs to be included.
3. Edit the dialogue to not give too mush away too soon.
4. Include an 'Establishing Shot' of the train leaving at the end of the opening.
5. More diagetic sound in the animatic e.g. footsteps.

In addition to this, we created a 'shooting schedule' to make sure we know exactly when we are filming and editing. However, as most of our filming is to be done outside- in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire the weather plays a significant role in when we film.

We have also chosen actors to play the main character (we have not chosen a name yet) and the 'Trackers' to be following him through Gerrards Cross. All the actors are Drama students so we can have the most professional effect within our opening.

Furthermore, my progress has also improved further- sketching out scenes/storyboarding- in order to reach the high quality expected. However, once again my editing skills could be improved further.
