Storyboard corrections and animatic consderation

       Our group had received feedback on the storyboard that we had created for our pre title sequence. The feedback that we was given was that there had to be more shots included in the storyboard and that there had to be more titles communicated in the storyboard to the audience. So as a group, in this lesson, we went back to the drawing board and made the neccessary corrections to our storyboard so that the feedback that we was given had been altered in order to make it better. 
       We also had the task of maybe preparing an animatic version of our title sequence idea in order to show it to the class to see what they thought of our title sequence idea and to see if it fit in with our film. An animatic is a photogrpahed version of your storyboard that runs from on frame (shot) to another and the time that you have at the bottom of that shot determines how long that shot is on the screen and then you add any dialogue or music that you plan to have in your title sequence to the animatic so it is like a drawn version of your title sequence. You would usually do an animatic to see if your storyboard idea works and it also gives others a chance to review your idea and give you any feedback on how to improve it. 
       When it came to preparing to do an animatic for our title sequence idea, there was a problem as our title sequence was just one shot which was a 360 degree angle of the main character sitting on a couch with his feet up, this was a probelm for us as the storyboard that we had drawn up didn't have the qualities that would be need for an animatic so we resolved this problem by deciding to do a photo version of this animatic. So instead of taking pictures of our storyboard we would take pictures of the actual scene with a person acting like our storyboard states. Once again we encountered another problem as at first we thought of having the titles appear on actual paper in the scene, meaning that the titles were propps in our title sequence but after doing a mock up of these titles it turned out that doing them on paper looked very cheap and you couldnt quite see what they said. Also as our title sequence would be shot in a living room of a home, it didnt quite look right being shot in a school without the propps that we needed and so the animatic didnt quite look right and when this happened we decided not to do the animatic any more as it was hard for us to accomplish this.
