Where did I go? - animatic

My finished animatic in two handy versions

Please find below my animatic. It’s about a failing relationship between an unhappy couple. 

ANIMATIC ONE - MUSIC AND IMAGES
The plain animatic in all its glory



ANIMATIC TWO - MUSIC, IMAGES AND WALKTHROUGH
A walkthrough of what the images represent and what’s
happening in the scene.



Note: I originally intended to complete the whole song. However, I am short by around 
50 seconds. The target was one minute, and my animatic last 2:10 (excluding 
the ending credits). Enjoy.

Animatic Research

This is some research into Jorga Smith and her Audience


These are the results you get when searching her name.

Her official website is https://www.jorjasmith.com/

To the left is the imagery you are given when being shown her results. She looks as if  she likes to perform rather than have music videos that are narrative or conceptual.
She is an english singer-songwriter from the west midlands. She's been around for 2 years and has collaborated with multiple other artists like Stormzy and Drake.

I chose her music because it is slow and will allow me to create a narrative music video and use long and slow-motioned shots of lens-flared nature and out-of-focus shots of distressed and dazed people. Not because of her in-particular.

Animatic Progress

An update as to what decisions have been made.

I have decided to create an animatic for the track: "Where Did I Go?" by Jorja Smith

As of right now, I have not decided how much of the video I will create an animatic plan for (The target is 1 min) but would very much like to do the whole track.

The lyrics can be found blow.

Maybe this fate was overdue

Baby it's late and I'm confused
You showed me love that wasn't real (wasn't real, wasn't real)
Can't teach yourself to be sincere
Where did I go?

When did the sun rise?
How did I fall?
Got lost in the moonlight
Where did I go?
When did I realize
My love was on hold?
So now this is goodbye
Good, goodbye
Goodbye
Good, goodbye
Goodbye
This time my questions lay with you (lay with you, lay with you)

'Cause each time inside I play the fool (played the fool, played the fool)
Silly boy, where did that man go?
The one that hurt my soul (the one that hurt my soul)
Now little man, I left you on your own
With the whispers on your phone
I've been askin' all along (asking all along)
Where did I go? (where did I go?)

When did the sun rise (when did the sun rise?)
How did I fall? (how did I fall?)
Got lost in the moonlight (lost in the moonlight)
Where did I go? (where did I go?)
When did I realize
My love was on hold?
So now this is goodbye 
Good, goodbye
Goodbye
Good, goodbye
Goodbye
Good, goodbye
Goodbye
Good, goodbye
Goodbye
Where did I go? (where did I go?)
When did the sun rise?
How did I fall? (how did I fall?)
Got lost in the moonlight
Where did I go? (where did I go?)
When did I realize
My love was on hold? (love was on hold)
So now this is goodbye
Good, goodbye

Animatics

Task set by teacher to be completed over the term

Lol sorry, this isn't the final project post. Just the one explaining what animatics are and recognising that it is a task that must be completed.

An animatic is a video or series of images that are drawn or photographed that represent each shot of a video. It is an upgrade of a story board, simular to an animation, but at a basic level with a very low frame rate. 

Here is an example on Vimeo:

Recording and Editing Techniques

This is me trying out most of the different editing and recording techniques!

Try not to expect too much of a narrative because it was mostly just "Hey, what shot's next? We will record something in that style now."
Its gunna be awesome regardless because not only did I record some of the shots, I'm in some too!!

Planet Coaster Game-play series!

Demonstrating my ability to create game-play content with screen-recording software.

The quality is pretty shocking but hey thats what you get for trying to push a 2014 mid-range PC into 1080p 60fps on max game settings territory. Hopefully it shows some extra media techniques.

(please note this wasn't made too long ago which is scary) 

My vines.

This is a small compilation of my then-recent vines

These vine are absolutely shocking but I find the homework one and witch disguise ones funny. No, I'm not sad just really loud when I'm in the house on my own. Hopefully this demonstrates something to do with editing and the ability to create different types of media (hence the 7-sec-max vines) but to be fair I have no clue what I was doing at the end with all those basses and YES I HAD A COLD but its fine because its so cringyyyy and as you can tell I had a poor idea of teachers at the time. Also I'm not to sure what I was trying to achieve with the random pictures between vines but let's just go with it. About 30 seconds in I realize how good a northern accent sounded with my cold so yeah enjoy.

(please note this was also made a while ago boiii)

Trying Out Stop-Motion!

Short stop motions of me being abused by cheerios.

Well, this happened.... at a hotel.... because me and my mum were bored.... we turned cheerios into DEADLY FORCES! NOW THE CEREALS ARE THE KILLERS OH HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED!!  AARRRRGGGGGGG

(please note that this was created a while ago boiiis)

My Action Doors


Created at the beginning of the year, this video was to practice using iMovie.

The task was to create a video with 3 door interactions in 3 different genres. I chose Horror, Action and Western (however I did not know how to create a western theme so enjoy the half-edited ending!)

 ENJOY



The Creation of the Best Thing That Ever Happened

Congratulations, you are here to witness the beginning of something awesome!

And on this day, 21st September 2018, Sam looked upon his creation and saw that it was good.

This blog is going to be me just trying stuff out. It will contribute to my A-Level and I can't wait to see this page being filled with awesome things and silly gags that should entertain and be forgotten.

Its basically just a toilet of which I will regurgitate my work into and not flush. Yup.
