Study Notes
Motion Media Overview
- Motion media is created by displaying pictures (frames) consecutively at a rate, typically 24 frames per second, to create the illusion of movement.
- Video, animation, film, and slides use frames.
- A series of images form a sequence (e.g., storyboard) to tell a story or convey a message using diverse components (audio, visual, etc.).
Motion Media Production
- Informal production: Created by individuals, usually for personal use.
- Formal production: Created by professionals adhering to industry standards for creation, editing, and production.
- Formal animation production involves steps like writing the story, creating a storyboard, scripting dialogue, sketching scenes, adding details (music, background), and rendering drawings.
Motion Media Formats
- Formats include animated GIFs, Flash, Shockwave, and Dynamic HTML.
- Video formats like H.26N, QuickTime, DivX, MPG, and MP4, frequently employ codecs (compression/decompression) to handle large video resources.
- Formats are chosen based on purpose (education, entertainment, advertising) and the source (e.g., personal, social media, companies).
- Audience (private or public) and nature (directed or general) can also influence the chosen format.
Advantages of Motion Media
- Captures motion for repeated viewing.
- Allows for safe simulations of observations.
- Enables detailed and sequenced representation of processes.
- Facilitates learning across diverse cultures and groups through a universal medium.
- Enables effective and emotionally resonant learning.
Limitations of Motion Media
- Limited viewer interruption capabilities compared to other visual media.
- May require more costly production than other visual presentations.
- Still images, graphs, diagrams, and maps are better suited for certain types of data presentation.
- Potential for viewer misinterpretation of intended messages or events.
Design Principles of Motion Media
- Speed: Constant or variable to convey emotion (e.g., fast = vigor, slow = sadness).
- Direction: Indicates movement direction or object scaling (e.g., growth, shrinkage).
- Motion path: The route an object takes, showing change in direction (crucial trigger points for the story).
- Timing: Objective (measured in units) or subjective (felt). Affects emphasis and message intensity; pausing can enhance timing of events.
- Transitions: Used between scenes to convey a clear beginning and end by using neutral colors. Maintains focus without unnecessarily drawing attention; avoids abrupt changes between scenes.
- Sound and color: Add depth and meaning to movement. They create a richer and more effective experience.
- Cartooning: Graphic and text-based dynamic movement that uses techniques like stretching, squashing, rotation, and following to make things move, blurring can be used to help create illusions of fast motion to provide impact or censor information based on security or decency or maintain focus.
