An animatic is a preliminary version of a film, produced by shooting successive sections of a storyboard and adding a soundtrack.
Here a few examples of animatics:

My animatic will be based on a song called - Major Lazer Lean On (feat. DJ Snake and MO), I am going to be creating my animatic by taking photographs to link in with the lyrics of the song which will last roughly for 1 minute.

These lyrics are the opening lyrics of the song, and talks about
"leaning on" people when you need them to be there for you; everyone that supports you and the people who you support whilst they are going through tough times,  which links back to the hidden meanings as you can interpret these lyrics in a different way depending on how you view the song.












The target group for this song would be aged 14-15 year old's and above as i was that age when i and many others around me had listened to this song and really enjoyed it.

Here are some ideas i have brainstormed
for some lines where i would take pictures/draw
what the lines mean to me.
The main chorus:
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
We need someone to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
All we need is somebody to lean on.
