Why the animatic storyboard will help us:

The animatic storyboard will help us when it comes to creating our actual music video because it gives us a rough idea of what it will look like and how each shot will come together. This is because each shot on the animatic storyboard is a sketch of what will be happening in each shot and then the camera is on that image for as long as the actual shot will be.
