Implied Motion

This is an example of a storyboard for a scene in a movie or TV show. The designer faced problems of clearly depicting the motions that the camera needs to make. Another issue that comes with this design is showing the motions that the characters must make in each shot. The different boxes that are presented follow a story and it is important to read them correctly or the story might become lost to the reader. By using arrows, this design implied motion to the action of the characters and motions of the camera. Also for the characters motion the use of motion streaks are create to suggest motion. The viewer is guided from left to right of the page because the boxes are numbered and the use of arrows. To also convey motion the background images in each box are different referring that the character had to have moved from point a to point b.

In this design motion is also implied and created. For the user to move through this graphic they much read from the top left to right, moving down and across back to the left. The use of variation in scale helps create motion and focuses the attention of the user. In this graphic arrows are also used to create motion but not all to help guide motion. For this graphic the problem occurs when arrows face the opposite direction the reader is intended to read the words. By using 2D in some words it creates the sense of forward motion. The word “around” also creates its own for of motion because of its swirl design type. The arrow under “once in a while” gives the implied motion of a circular movement.
