P1 Animatic Review
My Animatic
P1 Shot Length
Most of the shots in the sequence are around 2 to 3 seconds long with some of the other shots being a a bit too long than the should be, around 3 of the shots are over or around 10 seconds long these shots should probably be shortened or put more shots into the scene.
P2 Camera Movement
The static shots in the sequence have dialogue to accompany the shot and I don't think that camera movement would help in the static shots unless it was a little zoom but I think that the dialogue it rests the audience in the shot with out having to add movement. The shots with movement really help flow the sequence together.
P3 Sound Levels
Most of the dialogue in the sequence is clear and easy to understand but its quite easy to tell that we are reading the lines off a piece of paper, and most of Alex's dialogue was quite quiet but still easy to understand. The different volume of the dialogue going from low to high does affect the flow. There's a few background sounds in some of the dialogue but there not very loud and doesn't effect the dialogue that much.
P4 Voice Acting
I think the dialogue is quite easy to understand whats going on, but listening to the dialogue out loud some of the lines don't make sense together with the rest of the entire film. The voice acting isn't the best I've ever hear and its at all that convincing and you can really tell that we are reading them off paper. To make the dialogue more convincing we could put more emotion into the voice.
P5 VFX
I think its quite clear in the animatic where the special effects are suppose to be especially the lightning handshake at the end and the flame finger but we haven't made it very clear where the teleporting should take place in the animatic.
P6 Peer Feedback
The feedback I got was to add sound effects to the animatic this could help make it more clear where the special effects. That was the only bad feedback that I got

P1 VFX Test Footage
My First AttemptFor the first attempt of the flame I followed the video and keep the flame as it was because I thought the flame looked quite realistic as it was.
My Second Attempt
But for the second attempt on the flame I decided to add smoke at the start and the end of the flame to try and improve it i thought it made it ten times better but it would of been better if the smoke followed the flame but it looks good even without it. I also adjusted the flame by making it transparent this made the flame look a lot better it did this by changing the flames mode to add.
After Effects Assessment
When shooting the test footage we shot several shots that can allow for different effects in after effects like teleporting, fire balls and lighting. We had to reshoot a shot with Matts hand because Matts hand moved out of the cameras view. In after effects I did a flame coming out of Matts hand this wasn't very difficult because the video I found on youtube was easy to follow and easy to understand, next time I make a fireball I think I could do it without the tutorial video because it was quite simple. It was hard to try and get smoke to follow the flame with the tracker I wasn't sure how to add it to the flame so instead I put the smoke from when the flame get ignited and extinguished.In all I didn't find after effects that difficult to use and add the fire effect to the video even thought the tracker was a bit fiddly to get right, if I didn't have the video to help me I think I would of struggled quite a bit, things to improve on in after effects is not relying on the video too much try and teach my self how to do some of the effects and learn how to make the effects look better and more realistic like adding a glow to the flame.
