Project 5 motion graphic sequence

For this project you have the choice to make either an "Infographic" or a "Title Sequence"

Details

• sequence length = 30 seconds or more
• size = HDTV 1920x1080
• file type = exported as: h264 based ".mp4"

Step 1 - Make Decisions about your Motion Graphic Sequence and Research

1) Do you want to make a Title Sequence or an Infographic?


Title Sequence:

2) Research research
- use youtube to watch 10 different examples of Title Sequences. Start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IoVLB1shwI


- pick your favorite video and take notes about the pacing and the types of imagery found in the title sequence. How many cuts are there? How many seconds is each cut? How many different scenes are there? 

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

OR

Infographic:
2) Research 
- use youtube to watch 10 different examples of Infographics. Start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Mc4d2B4HyI

- pick your favorite video and take notes about the pacing and the types of imagery found in the infographic. How many cuts are there? How many seconds is each cut? How many scenes are there?  

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

Step 2 - Make an 'outline'. 
List out the information you want to show, in the order you want to show it. For an infographic it is the information you want to show the viewer. For a title sequence it is things like the information about the movie (the actors, studio, title, producers...)

Example Infographic

Introduction (what are you going to show?)
First Part (what are you going to show?)
Second Part (what are you going to show?)
Third Part (what are you going to show?)
Fourth Part (what are you going to show?)
Fifth Part (what are you going to show?)
Ending (what are you going to show?)
Credits (what are you going to show?)


Example Title Sequence

Show movie clip (what are you going to show?)
Show Actors names (who are they?)
Show movie clip 2 (what are you going to show?)
Show studio name (who is it?)
Show movie clip 3 (what are you going to show?)
Show movie title (what are you going to show?)
Show movie clip 4 (what are you going to show?)
Show movie clip 5 (what are you going to show?)





Step 3 - Making a Storyboard

A Storyboard breaks the story into pieces that visually show the angle, movement and POV of the camera.

Questions to ask yourself!

• 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?)

no you don't have to know how to draw.
 

Step 4 - Create your video in Photoshop


Step 5 - Finalize your video in Premiere Pro
