Second Draft Annimatic (With Sound)

Here is the second draft of my animatic with sound effects and a few transition effects that I was trying out it is the closest thing to my final piece:

First Draft Animatic (no Sound)

Here is my annimatic just the images placed together my second draft shall contain the sound effects that I am likely to use.

Setting List Analysis:

My whole short film shall mainly based around Gerrards Cross however I have also used the office where my Mum and Dad work at British Airways to film the oppening and ending scenes. I also used the Chikara centre at school for a couple of shots as well.

below are the following places that I used to film:

British Airways Office: I used both the office and the corridor just outside to film the spies walking up to and in the room to recieve their mission and their packages. I decided to use this office as it wasn't too big or small and was easy to hire out, but most importantly it had everything I needed to set the scene with the chairs and table and the outside corrider was really useful as it was quite narrow again giving me a lot of opportunities to film from different perspectives.

The Gerrards Cross High Street: I used the High Street to film the chase scene between the spies, where they where narrowly just missing each other and where the contents of the packages finally get revealed. I chose Gerrards Cross as it was easy to get to by everyone and because the ammount of streets and alley ways where realy useful to film in as again I had a choice of how and where I placed each shot.

Finally Gerrards Cross Train Station: This is where I filmed my western stand off scene with all spies, I decided to film here becuase it was the perfect setting to hold a western stand off as there where a variety of points for each of the spies to enter and it was an easier shot than expected to film because of the layout of the trainstation. Unfortunately I was not allowed to take my own photo of the trainstation

Props List: Analysis

My Props List:

the packages containing the photographs of the other spies, this is the main centre of the storyline the packages depict the spies fates, therefore arguably they are one of the most important props.

The gun which one spy will own, this is a fake BB gun but from afar it looks quite realistic, this was really useful as it allowed me to create quite a descent ending without it looking fake or cheesy.

ll three spies will be in smart dress, I wanted this to be a theme in my work, a formal "Buisness meeting" if you will. I wanted to show that this is a formal transaction and that this is their jobs.

I shall have the boss sitting behind a desk, this desk is where the Boss will slide over the packages to the spies. This is an important prop as I believe it makes the Boss look formal and powerful as The Boss is shown to own this massive building and this meeting room, making him seem dangerous and almost overpowering.

The Spies Mobile Phones, These props are important as this is how the spies eventually meet each other and realise that they have all been set up.

Storyboard Analysis

I am pleased with my idea as I believe that it is not too simple nor too complicated to complete. My idea also gives me room to improve re shoot or change in any way that I may feel is necessary. I am pleased with my variety of shots and angles as I feel that they tell the story from different perspectives and from different view points. The only thing that I feel is letting me down is my drawings only due to the fact that I cannot draw and so my ideas may not be as clear to the audience as they are too me which could present a problem.

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly An Idea For The Ending Of My Short Film:

I want to have an ending similar to the good, the bad and the ugly where all three of my spies will meet in a similar location to the cowboys in the good the bad and the ugly. I want to show my spies about to have a stand off when they realise they have been sent by the same person I want the stand off to be similar to the good the bad and the ugly where we see all the spies facial reactions and their weapons as they are about to shoot each other when they realise that they were sent to kill each other by the same person.


Here is the final stand off:
