Final Animatic

Analysis

When Alfie was drawing the pictures for the Animatic, he decided to draw a picture or two for each verse of the son. Currently the video doesn't fit the lyrics, but the audience can get an overview of the shots that we are intending to use in our final video.

Shot 1:
The word Curbside Prophet is spelt out on a board held up by a person, (only visible by their hands)

Shot 2:
Zoom out of the close up of the board to show someone sitting in front of a shop holding the board, a bus pulls up with the actor on, and the homeless actor switches the boards to say "by Jason Mraz".

Shot 3:
A shot of the actor turning on an iPod to start listening to our chosen track 'Curbside Prophet'- Jason Mraz, but our actual shot won't show the iPod screen, it will show the actor turning it on from a front view.

Shot 4:
Actor will start walking down the street, from a side on shot singing along to the song, walking merrily to the beat.

Shot 5:
Shot of a passer by handing a guitar to the actor, as the lyrics quote "picked up a guitar in the mix", then the actor will sing and play guitar for the rest of the song.

Shot 6:
The person who passed the actor the guitar start following the actor, as if to show the actor as a 'Prophet', and having followers listening to his teachings.

Shot 7:
Close up of the actors face singing along to the lyrics, with people waking by.

Shot 8:
Close up of the actors legs dancing to the song, merrily, making it feel like a happy, upbeat song.

Shot 9:
Actor and his first follower walking down a narrow street, camera shot from high above, to show the impression of others looking in on whats going on. And as the lyrics quote "amounts up to nothing in the end", the actor will raise his hand up in the air, to show that its not going to get him down, because he's happy.

Shot 10:
Camera changes angle again to the opposite side of the road from the actor, to show he has enticed another person from the street to stop what they were doing and follow him.

Shot 11:
A mid shot of the actor pretending to raise a glass to a pub/restaurant as the lyrics say "raise a toast".

Shot 12:
The last animatic shot of ours is a close up of the guitar, to fit the lyrics "with my guitar here".
