Animatic review

Shot Length - We have 23 shots in our video, and the video lasts about 2 minutes, there is a variety of shot lengths as for some are long and some are short (some less than 2 seconds although some are longer than 2 seconds). I do believe that I need to look more into my shot lengths and also cut a lot of the shots down or make the flickers obvious by making it an actual flicker rather than as one whole shot which is one of the reasons that my animation was length dodgy.
Camera Movement - Yes my animation does show enough consideration of shot composition for example when the insides are shown on the screen it shows the exact shot types that will be involved such as the zoom in to show the detail of the insides turning to ice and also the position change when the camera starts at one end of the body and ends at the other.
Sound Levels - Yes the audio mix in the sequence does work for whenever there is dialogue and a sound effect at the same time the dialogue volume goes higher, and the sound effect volume goes lower to ensure that the audience can hear both the sound effect and dialogue to understand the story. Also the music starts form silence and gradually gets louder then quieter so that it mixes in and the audience can understand what is happening and going on in the sequence.
Voice Acting - The spoken dialogue I believe worked fairly well, although I do also believe we need to change casting when it comes to actual acting, although we did discuss this before hand. The lines spoken in the dialogue are convincing though, for we made sure tone was how we wanted in each word individually, we also took a few test footages to make sure that it was perfect and up to scratch.
VFX - Yes it is clear in the animatic when three visual effects will appear both by sound and Image, one of the main visual effects is at the ending when Phoebe blows ice form her mouth - this is obvious via the image for the image shows exactly what is happening in the storyboard and also the sound effect I added of sound. Another obvious visual effect are of course the CGI's of the space whale and the horse and also the polar bear - these are obvious via the Image in the storyboard because it would be Impossible to find these creatures to ride in life, therefore an obvious VFX, this also counts as three effects for there are many shots and three creatures. The third visual effect is the third shot of Phoebe's insides changing to ice, this is an obvious visual effect for it would be impossible to literally turn a persons insides to ice gradually - You can tell this by Image and also will be able to once I add the sound effect of  Ice.
Peer Feedback - My peer's feedback was to make the transitions and shots run smoother when changing from one shot to another, which I believe I could Improve on.
