Web banner

The web banner I have created was made from adobe after effects.

Banner

 


Storyboard



Design
The format of my web banner is a flash animation. My idea for my web banner follows my marquee for my game. When it came to designing the animation I drew a 5 second animation storyboard. The background followed the marquee so a embossed metal plate with opaque text. The audio that would be placed into the banner would be a alarm sound. The web banner cannot be a gif as some computers that will come to visit the page will not be able to view it thus why my banner is a flash animation.

The audience that my banner is aimed at are people who are viewing my website. Also it is aimed at adults mostly as website is for selling a arcade machine with my game on it. The audience would be male and aged over 20. Their interests should be about buying the arcade  machine or having the chance to get my game.

The size of the banner is 720x90 pixels and the animation should be running at 30 FPS (Frames per second). The perspective of the banner is a front view that shows the name of the game with the bullet thread. I originally decided to have the belt swing and have a wave in it (shown by the story board) but after effects could allow me to create a successful animation so I left the belt static. The only thing now animated in the banner is the orange emergency lights beam on the wall. The banner will not have a soundtrack has it is only 5 seconds long.

Animation timeline

1831:
Dr Joseph Antoine Plateau, who was a Belgian scientist, with Dr Simon Ritter made a machine called the phenakitoscope. What this machine did was that it created an animated image using still images (frames). The frames are placed on one disk while another disk is on the other side that have small windows which are placed adjacent to the frame. When the disks are spun you will be able to use the windows to see the image being animated.

1872:
