(6.1) Aim, Objectives, Methods, Tasks and Deliverables

Aim and Objectives:

The aim of this project is to investigate how design constraints dictate the visual style of title sequences in response to production values across formats, and to develop and evaluate an original piece of media.

The objectives are as follows:

1. Review and evaluate how different production values are responded to across a range of formats to achieve an appropriate quality standard.  
2. Evaluate and discuss the design constraints that establish the context of a show and how they dictate the use of motion graphics. 
3. Develop a series of media tests to experiment with title sequence production in response to production values across a variety of formats and design constraints. 
4. Create and critically evaluate final piece within context of wider research.
