It is hugely important for this task that we make sure the characters involved understand that the films and pictures will be used towards our project and published online. This is why we have used a contributor's release form. It is great to have used this now as we can make sure the actors are aware of the tasks involved and less chance of them quitting out half way through the project claiming they didn't understand the terms they signed on. We spoke to both Joe and Maria in depth about this and they both agreed to the terms and signed this form. We hope that during the film there are no hazards that will affect our production team and cast. However, you can never be too careful and so it is important to consider any possible risks, so that the producers and the cast are aware of the potential hazards involved in the project. I made a table in Google Docs and shared with both Vince and Max. We will make sure to update this throughout the course. I believe that if we were to fill out all of the suspected hazards now, we may miss some and so it is important to keep a digital copy that we update throughout the duration of the project. Immediately below is an early copy of the risk assessment form and further down, a final copy is attached.
An animatic refers to an animated storyboard. Boards are usually brought into an editing program and are cut together with the correct timing and pace of the real product using sound effects, dialogue and recordings, etc. In a previous blog post, I have already looked at the different stages of the storyboard and explained them in depth so we felt for this animatic task we could create something a little more entertaining and fun whilst still being engaging. We decided we would attempt to create a fun but useful animatic using Lego. A member of the team, Max, is a big Lego fan and I was shocked at how many different pieces Max still has, we could create almost anything! Attached below is a video of the Lego animatic and the in-depth breakdown of the storyboard can be found on the 'Storyboard' post.
Now that we have determined the characters, cast, costumes, props, location and setting, it was time to come up with a firm story. In a previous blog post I made an initial storyboard with the idea of a young hacker. Since we have discussed this idea and developed it further. We want the trailer to be about the struggles our young person has with the world and the effects it has on him. Below is a picture of the storyboard I have drawn as well as a video explaining what each picture is meant to show. We will use this as guidance and to remind us how we will structure the trailer.
