How we Made Our Animatic

For our Animatic, we used iMovie. This was because we were familiar with the program, and could not only change the timings, but add Pans and Zooms where we felt appropriate.





Our Animatic



We created our animatic to the soundtrack 'Flume - You and Me' demonstrating our upbeat, yet still dramatic soundtrack for our production's trailer.

Why Social Realism?

Hommage to Trainspotting

When creating the our storyboard, we realised that one of our protagonists would be shown to be in bed. During this scene we wish to portray him as lazy, unemployed, messy and the complete opposite of our other protagonist, shown in the scene prior to this.

What we realised about this particular scene, is that it could be linked closely with one from the movie Trainspotting, further raising the idea of paying homage to this film. This would not only further connect our trailer with the Social Realism genre this film portrays, but also to connect the theme of drugs to our trailer.

We found the following clip from Trainspotting, which shows the aforementioned scene, and decided to use parts of the 'mise en scene' within it in our own similar scene, thus paying homage to this highly popular and well-known film from the genre of Social Realism.
