Animatic
We used this in a regular way, looked at how well the shots fit in with the music and how long the actual clips would last for as we were on a 2 minute time limit with 10% each way making the timings very important. We found it very useful to find out the timings as it helped us cut down on certain clips and extend on others to try and make the intro the best it could be. For the animatic we used Serif rather than Vegas because it was a lot easier to use. We took pictures of our storyboards and uploaded them before pasting them into Serif as still images then placing them next to each other to see how long it would last.
