Timeline

Timeline As part of our development a key step was to create the timeline. This is where we have a five column chart. The first column is the word or music, the second column lists the time that the phrase lasts, and the other columns detail the performance, the narrative or the action.

The timeline tests out whether the image will last for the time that is given to it. With the timeline you begin to think about the images that go with a lyric or a piece of instrumental and it forces you to think whether it will work or not. An example is we had 18 seconds on our singer in the audience of the cinema. This is too long so we knew we needed to either have a close-up, a mid-shot, or a wide shot or we needed other things such as a narrative to keep the audience interested.
