Assessments

Yesterday we watched all the animatics from the year, and had to talk about them... always a lovely experience.

My main problem is that all throughout the year (since September) we were told that this would be a "Formative" assessment, which gives us an idea of our marks, as opposed to "Summative" which is an actual mark. Then, on the first day back (one week before the hand in) Sean announced that this was, in fact, going to be Summative assessment... right.

Major panic ensues.

I had not, at that point, throught about what soundtrack I was going to use, or whether or not to use sound effects. After much messing around I found a soundtrack, and decided that seeing as my film is set in Nothing and space, that sound effects would be useless (because sound cannot carry through space). The soundtrack was only there to provide ambience, because it was a bit bare without it, but the track I picked out, amazingly, fitted almost perfectly with the actions.

Sorted.

I edited it all together, and was happy with the result. I got to the computer to put my animatic on the uni harddrive... and put the wrong file on. The file I handed in was the one devoid of any sound at all.

Typical.

But I actually dont think anybody noticed... I guess my result will tell.
