Goal : Make a Flash Banner Movie to serve as a Travel Ad
for a specific country.
Due : Monday 16 Oct, at the end of the period (you
can work on it during class0
Description:
Collect a few nice pictures that are representative of the
country. Resize all the images so they will fit inside the banner - e.g.
100 pixels high.
Make a Flash project that is 500 pixels wide and 100 pixels
high.
Insert one of the pictures you made (a 100 pixel picture).
Insert some text on the other side of the frame. Make it fade or
zoom in using a Motion Script. You will need to duplicate several
frames so the text has enough time to appear.
Alternate text fading in, a picture fading out, text fading out, picture
fading in, etc. Be creative, but try to make things fit together in a
sensible way. For example, the text should be connected to the
corresponding picture.
Make sure the fading in and out is synchronized and lasts an
appropriate time.
It is recommended to alternate the appearance of frames - the first frame has the
picture on the left, the second frame has the picture on the right,
third frame is a big picture and small text, fourth frame is two small
pictures with text in between, etc. You don't need to do EXACTLY what
is described here, but do alternate the appearance of the frames, to avoid
boredom.
Try to make something as good or better than the Canada example. It
should last 20 or 30 seconds, so it would have at least 40 frames.
Assessment
Your grade will be based on:
Attractive - make it pleasant and interesting - avoid "video game"
style with gaudy colors
Positioning - elements should be clearly visible and positioned sensibly,
probably not overlapping
Meaningful - this is an advertisement for a country, so the text should
say nice things and the pictures should make the country look appealing.
