Silent movie; workshop four.


This was the workshop where we began to think more realistically about the amount of keyframes each sequence would need to show the movement properly from start to finish. We were also introduced to framing in this workshop because when you start working in after effects there is a frame set out so you know where you content will fit within the screen. This process of drawing out the frames was quite time consuming but benefitted us a lot because it began to bring the sequence to life a little bit more and gave us greater understanding. Using the framing system meant that we could indicate when something would be off the screen and what section of the type this would be. I also began thinking on a more personal level about how my sequence would start and also end as seen on the photo of the second sheet. 

As a test for wether these storybaords were clear about how the sequences worked we took these sheets into a mini crit and paired up. We had to let our partner look at our sheets and explain to us what was happening without interrupting. Most of my storyboards were clear and my partner got them correct but I made a few notes of things I needed to alter that didn't really work. Some of these things were elements such as the fact the sequence on the second screen starting black and ending black didn't really make sense when black was not to be seen anywhere else in the sequence.
