WHAT ARE STORYBOARDS AND ANIMATICS?
Storyboard and animatics are very important in the creation of a horror trailer as they are the building blocks of our ideas. By creating a storyboard we are essentially creating a script which help us when shooting our trailer as we can get a rough idea of how our work is supposed to look on paper. Animatics are also useful as it can help with understanding the pace of the trailer, we can get a rough idea of the amount of time to spend on a shot. This whole task is created in order for our shooting to run smoothly
STORYBOARD
We created a storyboard for our trailer, putting into thought the camera movements and some of the sound effects we would like to hear, which will help us in our production stage as we would already have an idea of how our shots should look.
ANIMATICS

In the process of creating our storyboard and animatics we had to look at trailers for inspiration to help with pace and give us and idea of where to fit in the stage of our trailer (Todorov theory), like the equilibrium and disequilibrium .

To further help us with our animatics we created a template of the trailer to make it easier to fit in our storyboard crop out when we create our animatics on Adobe Premier.

This is our finished animatics, which was done using our trailer template and Adobe Premier, this helps us for when we go into the production stage of our trailer as we know have a rough idea of how our trailer would look in terms of pace and movement, shown through the arrows.
