To go towards our planning and our video we put together our story boards and edited them on final cut in time with the song to enable us to see what the cuts would look like, as well as to help us practice using final cut and sort out our shots in order with the time of the song.
We got off to very good start with all of our shots in order and t6hen we started to cut them together, it took us around 2h30mins to complete and we spent a while re-evaluating our shot choices along with our narrative choice and the idea of the band. The reason this came up was because the nature of the song we chose was a difficult one to cut in time with as well as making sense of the video. So we decided to rethink an idea of portraying our story line and our message in a way that would make sense and not look messy to match the song.
After we cut the song and completed the animation we decided that the narrative did not work and it did look messy, this meant that we now were going to have to put some more ideas on the table. We originally and still want to show within the video how black music has influenced the music from the early 1920’s to 60’s to the now.
All in all our animation was not a great success in terms of its look but it helped us a great deal with the thoughts and ideas of how it would have looked if we had not done the animation, this has saves us from a disorganised shoot day with little progress with our original idea. We now know that the idea and layout of the video wouldn’t work and the animation has saved us a lot of time.
