P2_Principles_of_Motion_Graphics-1Focus for Critique: CONCEPT: What is the overarching idea (thinking, logic, thread) for your design? NARRATIVE: What is happening in each scene? Is each principles of motion graphics clear? Does the movie have a clear beginning/middle/end? TIMING: Look at speed and feel for "sticky spots." Does everything flow? Do any areas feel too slow/fast? TRANSITIONS: Do any scenes enter/exit at the wrong time? Are there any transitions that seem out of place or lacking? FORMAL CHOICES: Then…how are your design choices communicating the above? Type, color, imagery, etc. Is there unity throughout? Color coding? How did the designer use repetition with variation through the sequence?
