What i believe a storyboard does:
A story board provides an accessible, visual tool with common, understandable codes, particularly useful when persuing media work in groups.
From the animatic, i learnt that there is such thing as a powerful shot, at a powerful part of the song. Our example of this is when the bass line comes in and we first hear Affie's voice, an Establishing shot is used to fully see the effect on the set that the oil canister in flames has. We also used a sudden blackout before the powerful bass comes in. This was an experiment that we soon realised enforced a huge amount of focus onto the next shot. This we believe gives the audience a 'WOW' factor when introduced to our star for the first time.
Some areas, i believe may need to be addressed are the shots that are repeated. Some of the shots are actually the same shot but from a different angle (especially of the girl on the streets), or with a different background. Exactly the same shot is much easier to achieve in the scenes with just Affie in because the scenery around him shall be basic and easily replicated (a pure black background with reflected flame light).
From the Editing process it's self, i learnt the real problem of holding a shot for too long, as i did not realise just how boring a video can look when shots are held for too long (we feel long shots suit our 'off beat' video, but we had to know the difference between a nice long shot one that is held for too long). I also learnt the easiest place to cut two shots together. When a loud snare or kickdrum is heard and the noise levels rocket up to the red section, this is the ideal place for a cut, keeping on the beat and rhythmic.
