In terms of our individual contributions Dan focused on the storyboard, drawing it out and fitting it to the music, meanwhile Tom took photos of the storyboard frames and edited them together into the animatic.
The process has been very beneficial for development as it has shown us how much content we need to fill the song length. It also was very useful to help us visualise the shots we hope to use, while they are bound to change a certain degree it helped to show whether there were too many planned shots of certain kinds too close to one another. One thing we found was that some of our ideas did not quite fit with the music and we either had to move sections around or add new ideas (such as showing the band's breakup). Another thing we were interested in was transitions, this was something we had not really thought about before unfortunately it is difficult to judge their effectiveness from just the animatic.
The whole task was a little more complicated than our AS piece. This was partly due to length, while our AS piece was a little over 2 minutes, our current coursework will end up just under 4 minutes. As well as this, we had to constantly listen to the song and highlight key sections in order for the shots to exactly fit the tone and lyrics of the music.
