In the Motion Graphics subject, students will work through various teaching methodologies. At the beginning of each
class, the corresponding concepts and theory will be explained along with practical exercises. In the second part of
each class, students will work on the development of a final Motion Graphics project addressing the different
production processes.
MD 0: Master class complemented with visual support.
MD5: Self Paced Learning
MD6: Learning through projects.
Evaluation:
The evaluation will be based on the average of the grades obtained in the daily class exercises corresponding to the
topics presented in class and in the different phases of project deadline.
Work:
Class exercises (30%) + Moodboard of the project (10%) + Styleframes and Animatic of the project (10%) + Animatics of
the project (10%) + Final Project (40%)
Special evaluation:
The student will only be able to recover the individual exercises part of the course. The group work part will not be
recoverable except in exceptional cases (accident, illness...)
Criteria for standard and special evaluation:
If the conditions to pass the call are not met, the maximum grade will be 4.
The student will have the right to review the grade during the day stipulated by the teacher. In the review, the
student's grade can be increased or reduced.
