Email to Road Runner Records

During the photomontage we wanted to play a piece of music and we felt Photography by Nickleback had really good lyrics for what we were trying to capture. This is the email we sent to Nicklebacks' record comany - Road Runner Records.




2nd Draft of Storyboard

After going over our storyboard and getting feedback we changed it, this is our second and final draft. We will be using this storyboard to create an animation board.





























Animation Board + Feedback



After we had completed the animated storyboard with the timing and edits we had decided on, we showed it to the rest if the group who were filling out a sheet on things we did well and the things we could improve on for the overall storyboard and the timings within it. We got a lot of similar results from everyone. The things we did well were mainly our use of transitions and edits so we knew to keep these in it for it to be successful. They all thought overall that our timing suited our indie genre well so we knew we could keep that pratically the same. On the other hand we had some areas for improvement. Everyone said that we needed faster pacing and more variety in our live performances. After sitting down and thinking about how to make these improvements we decided that it would be best to:

  • when filming use a variety of different shot lengths and angles so that the audience had something more interesting than just mid-shots, this would also give different perspectives of the performance and make them feel involved.
  • in order to make it more visually exciting we would add things such as high/low angled shots, panning to give different views and a range of zoomed in and out shots to give different effects.
  • for the pace we would add some short cuts and then some long so theres not just dragged out long shots which could be very boring for the audience.
