Animatic:
This video shows the direction I want to take this production through in terms of setting up scenes, camera angles and a rough soundtrack that would suit the mood I want this film in. From given feedback, the only changes I would need to make overall is changing the timing as the scenes are too quick in terms of shooting off from one action to another in a second and also experiment with the 'Mother' character as the design isn't as produced well as the boy and ghouls. The music contribution was called Insidious edited in Adobe premiere pro but is very rough and is mainly a place holder until I gain more ideas on music but in the end I might consider mixing this track with other music ideas. Overall my fellow peers and lecturers liked how the idea has moved forward and how it has improved to become something potentially good to present in a showreel.

The next step to take this project forward is continue designing the colour presentation, sort the narrative structure as some scenes could be cut out to flow the pacing better and begin animating scenes to the short film to get a head start aswell as animating test runs of what the characters would move and interact with the scene setup. This in turn would help structure the narrative better if some action needed changing since my film will have no dialogue and rely on character traits and body language to describe the emotion of the film.
