Animatic
Our next step was to create a photo animatic of our OTS. For this we took photographs of us acting out the OTS, just like how we decided we wanted it to look in our storyboard. Each photograph is basically a simple recreation of our drawings. We couldn't get each shot perfectly how we wanted it to be but we instead just changed some of the camera angles and lighting to make it work. We also didn't use any props for this as it would be unnecessary and also because we were limited to what we had access to, because we were at school. The photos were then uploaded onto the Mac and were used to create a slideshow using the website 'Slideshare.net'.
As we only have one camera it is possible for the director to film whilst directing, if this were a larger production there would be several cameras each with its own operator. However, we could always enlist the help of more people (such as people from different groups)to help with filming and therefore mean the actors could be in it rather than having to film it instead.
One of our next steps before we start filming the opening title sequence is to write the script. We have decided that this will be a group effort rather than one person writing the whole thing. This is much better because we can all make an important individual contribution and also discuss what we do and don't want to be in the script.
