Animatic Evaluation
Constructing an animatic was a useful and enlightening experience in the process of changing our production plans and deciding what could work well in the final piece. Creating a rough, basic storyboard prior to the animatic was helpful in that it gave us a variety of shot ideas to try out and lay out how much time we might spend on each of the two main parts in our sequence - following the protagonist running, and the conversation in the girlfriend's house.
Music and SFX
Adding our proposed music to a sequence of shots proved that the conveyed mood of the film intro would be effective and as imagined; thrilling, tense and suspenseful. The two main parts of the song fitted well with the structure we had planned, retaining a feel despite changes in pace and sound levels; potentially we would not have to edit the levels and volume in the music to a huge extent. We did not have the time to add on the hammering effect on the door being knocked right at the end of the sequence, but the lacking of it certainly worked less effectively that how we imagine it can with the added sound.

Titles
As we could not create the dynamic titles at this stage of our project, titles were not something we could take forward a huge amount from this stage, however as a group we felt there were not enough titles when looking back on our animatic, providing us with constructive hindsight. An impacting final film title is something for us to work on as it can prove effective in connoting the genre.
DialogueOur dialogue needs further development in order to contribute more to narrative and characterisation. The acting itself in terms of the dialogue was not as effective as it could be from the protagonist, but acting on set may make it easier to perform more realistically than in a classroom into a microphone as we did in our animatic.
Shots
These could be made more compelling and creative with a little thought and work once we know our final location more thoroughly but generally showed us that a little variety goes a long way in making footage far more exciting and interesting to watch. In terms of being realistic in our ideas, the latter half of the sequence was definitely more effective and taught us what it would be like to shoot within a small physical space.
