Movie Opening Anamatic - Evaluation

I have learnt a lot from making an anamatic from our story board. It gives us a better idea of how our movie opening will be like when we film and edit it, therefore helping us decided whether or not we need to add in a greater variety of shots or variety of camera angles or effects for example. Making it into an anamatic gives us the ability to add music to the storyboard, in time with the shots and their timing. This helps us decided whether or not certain tracks are correctly appropriate for our sequence, and it helps us synchronize key sounds in the soundtrack with key actions in the movie opening. We can also add transitions and effects to our anamatic which helps us plan for the editing process. It also helps us visualise how our final piece will look and we will see whether or not any of our filming process will need to change.
