Last week you were asked to revise your time-line, create a life-cycle and contextualize your trending object with research and diagram visualizations. This week, you are asked to turn your research and your diagrams into a narrative. This narrative should tell us a story about:
a) the history of this object (where did it come from- where is it headed? Comparatively, what else happened that influenced the development of your object?
b) Why knowing about this object is important (why it matters)?
c) How the trending of this object has effected our ‘environment’ (locally and globally- financially, socially, or culturally)
TO DO FOR NEXT WEEK:
• Narrative development: Create an outline of the story you want to tell us and match that to the visuals you have already diagramed. Use post-its, a story-board template, index cards or other to thumbnail out the structure of your movie.
• Illustration development: Start to build your illustration slides. You can revise the diagrams you already have, or you can work with what you have already produced. Some tips:
1) Simple is better: limit your colors and shapes and text to the basics
2) Be organized: create separate layers in illustrator for different slides
3) Manage expectations: Your final project should have somewhere between 20 and 100 slides.
Bring in your storyboards and at least 30 seconds of animation next week for review. We will have time in class to work, so make sure to also bring all your working files (illustrator and i-movie files). NOTE: Your final video should be set at 16:9 ratio, with final export resolution 960×540, upload to youtube or vimeo and embedded into a design-4.me blog post.

Note: There are hundreds of tutorials on-line to help you learn how to use i-movie. Best idea is to type in the question you have regarding i-movie and see what returns you get in google search.
