To help the planning for my music video, I created an Animatic. This involved me planning what my finished production will look like. The way I did this was by first writing the lyrics to my chosen song out on a long strip of paper. I then got multiple cards and created quick sketches of each shot I imagined. I also included a note on each card on what will happen in that shot, any camera movements, and the time stamp at when it will play. I then organised the cards alongside the strip of paper, into a timeline.
When I finished this, I scanned each card and imported them to Premiere Pro, along with an MP3 file of my chosen song. I then used Premiere Pro to edit together an animatic, which involved my sketches in a slideshow alongside my chosen song, cutting in sync with the beat of the song. This gives a rough idea on what my final production will look like.
Here are some of my sketches, along with the MP3 file, I scanned and imported to my computer.
I then imported the files into Premiere Pro, ready for me to edit together.
Next, I ordered the sketches into a sequence. I synchronised the cuts to the beat of the song. Because I made a note of the timestamp at which each shot would start when creating the cards, I found this process was quick.
Here is my finished animatic:

Not only did creating an animatic give me a better visualisation of what my final production would look like, but it gave me more practise in using Premiere Pro. It reminded me on how to import and organise clips into a Premiere Pro sequence. I also gained practise in cutting to the beat of the song, and how much more comfortable it feels when watching it.
