Below is my final animatic with sound design added, I’m rather happy with this version although I know I need to tweak certain bits like playing around with the audio volume and perhaps moving the music around until I like how it opens and closes on the animation. I do still need to create a title and a credits scene which I will hopefully get on with doing next week.
One of my favourite parts of this is the third scene where the music and noises work to be suggestive of what is going on within the characters mind. For example, noises of Tokyo city reflects that of a past memory very unlike the world the protagonist finds herself living in currently. I wanted to create an emotive response so having her gasp displays the fact the character was so deep inside this memory it was a shock to wake up and realise she wasn’t there anymore.
I played around with the clip of tokyo noises for a while until I found the piece with a siren going past which I thought would work really rather well.
