 Storyboarding your Motion Graphic Sequence

Questions to Ask!- How many changes do you want to have in the sequence?

- What direction is the content moving in each part? How does it relate to the parts before and after?

- How long is each part?

- What content do you need to collect for each part?

- What is the purpose of each part? (what do you want your viewer to get out of it?)

Photoshop Video

To use video in Photoshop:

1) Drag a video file onto the Photoshop icon, it will appear in the Layers window and the Timeline window


2) Select the layer and "control"click to bring up the menu. Pick "convert to smart object"

Make Decisions about your Motion Graphic Sequence

1) Do you want to make a Title Sequence for your movie idea, or an Infographic?

Title Sequence:

2) Research research the pacing and the types of imagery found in your movie's genre. How many cuts are there? How many scenes? How long is it?

3) Which of the 10 title sequences do you think would work best for your movie? Develop a storyboard.

OR

Infographic:
2) Research research the pacing and the types of imagery found in info graphics. How many cuts are there? How many scenes? How long is it? 

3) Research the information you want to get across to your viewer. Develop a storyboard
