This week, I needed to produce an animatic. First I worked out the timing by scanning each panel of my storyboard into TV Paint and extending the lengths so it fit the 40 second limit. Then, using Premiere Pro, I added key frames to the animation so I could change the scale and positioning of certain panels to match my directions within my storyboards.
I needed to add the soundscape to my animatic as so far, all I had was a slideshow, so I sourced sound effects online such as: wind, ticking from the clocks, and stepping on pavement as I couldn't make these sound effects myself.
My characters are set in Coventry in the 1920s so for the spoken parts, I asked friends and family from my home town to record themselves saying the lines so I could then choose the best voice for my protagonist and the impression would be more authentic.
Due to my character's class, I decided my grandparents recordings worked the best because they sounded the most elegant and mature compared to my friends. For this task, I felt the recordings they sent me were adequate enough to use as this is just a rough animatic.
For my final animation however, I will rerecord these lines under better conditions so there isn't any background noise. I can do this when I see them over the Easter holidays.
