Initial Animatic and Audience Feedback

Audience Feedback


To build upon my initial idea and see if it would be feasible i decided to pitch my initial idea to the class, presenting it by an animatic and the comments of the class are as follows.

• Overall i  found that the sequence of the misinterpreted  crime should be altered to a mugging as this and build up the suspicion of the narrative.
• However  the initial concept of a so called illegal exchange could work, as when i comes to the editing stage, effects can be added such as a darkened aesthetic. Or generally play around with the cinematography using the vast catalog that final cut express 4 has to offer.
• The narrative appears clear and easy to follow, also the twist at the end doesn't appear to baffling.
• Two comments were made involving the aspects of the costume.
• Everyone else involved in the film could be dressed in various super-hero costumes  so that appears the norm. It would also feel a bit more like a short film, as they are renown to have normal situations with one aspect tweaked.
• Have the character dress in normal clothes, and everyone else in outfits, so the protagonist stands out and is against the norm.
• To make the narrative tie into the various comic book references, it was suggested i use no dialogue and instead insert text boxes in the corner of each frame as well as using speech bubbles. To give it that graphic novel style i could also wash out the colour palette and perhaps only focus upon a certain colour such as red. Finally slightly pixelated images could be used to give it that hand drawn style.
• A film noir style could also be used to give a more gritty urban feel if the scene were to be set in a city.
• I found from thi,s that the idea I have come up with could work very well and with development, could allow my idea to turn out well
