Rationale

For the brief 222.355 i have created a animated info graphic of the great formula one driver Ayrton Senna.

Wanted to do my video on him as he is a great inspiration to motor sport enthusiast everywhere. I wanted to craft a timeline of his life events and stats all visually compounded in to a slick, informative, easy to read and follow animation

I successfully used the Screen,Space,Type and Graphic design by having balanced compositions and simple easy to read text which help convey information to the viewer.

I applied nicely timed transitions by handing my video to many followers and friends and asked them to review the timing and how they interpret my video so i could develop my video to enhance and better the experience of my animation. 

I Combine all media aspects Illustrations, Animation and Music/Sounds to create a harmonious relationship between  visuals and audio i did this by  the addition of the music and snippets of sounds which simulate a racing environment  whilst not be senseless noise. 

I Demonstrate proficient technical control over a range of media elements proven by my execution of tricky transition  for example the title scene and through the creative transitions of my presentation of Ayrtons life events and statistics of his racing career.

Review

sitting down and watching my first complete run of the video over and over i came up with some lists of what needed to be done and edited from my first cut.

1st Final

Error / fixes sheet

My Composition was beginning to be a challenge to work around so i  split it into 3 parts / new compositions.

COMP 1 Intro

COMP 2 Mid

COMP 3 End

this made it easier to edit and modify the timing and general animations.

1) Intro was not lining up when it rotated  to first frame

2) I fixed this by making the whole animation one group and had that all parented to its own and this helped my

Today i Re watched one of my favorite movies of all time the feature length Senna Documentary. It starts with his first international trip overseas racing at the go-kart world championship. it tells the stories of his family and media and how he coped with his successful Motorsport career. it helps you understand the effects of media and how it is not such a glamorous life being in the public eye and being a nations hero. the movie tells stories of his greatest moments and some of the complicated times with dodgy racers such as his rivalry with fellow driver and once teammate Alain Prost. it ends with the fatal crash with a in deep analysis of what happened and reveals how it effected the world of Motorsport with the introduction of electronic suspension from the two fatal deaths which happened in the same year. it also shows his family's response and finishes off nicely with quotes and  celebrations of his successful & inspirational life as a formula one driver and a family man.
