Dimensions of
Motion and
Manipulative
Information and
Media
Presented by: Franschei Liegh Seducon
Mark Nixon Libantino
Motion information is defined by Roblyer (2004), as
cited by Mirabueno and Rodriguez-Macaraig (n.d.),
as “a form of media that has the appearance of
moving text and graphics on a display (with
the)purpose (of communicating) information in
multiple ways”. Shelton (2004) also defined motion
information as “an integrated sight-and-sound
kinetic media”.
First Dimension: Sources
of Motion Information
Motion information can easily be found and
accessed with the use of modern gadgets
such as smart phones, tablets, computers.
And laptops combined with the use of the
new media.
 Possible sources of motion
information.
1. Motion graphics blogs and resources - You can
downloed motion information over the internet through these
recommended sites: Video Copilot, GreyscaleGorilla, AE Tuts,
Video Hive, AE Portal News and YouTube (STEM 12 2018)
2. Movie clips - These are parts token or clipped from bigger
movies or motion Information materials to support a claim or
to show an idea. Hidalgo and Mapera (2015), however, warned
movie clip users to be careful in choosing these clips because
they may be sleading to the viewers.
3. Short films - These are films that have one
complete theme and Idea, and usually run for
one to 15 minutes only.
4. Original videos – These are captured and
or recorded actual events by anyone who has
the proper gadgets (mobile phone, camcorder
and cameras among others).

 Third: Advantages, Limits and
Importance of Motion Information
Advantages
1. Motion - Movements make it easier for viewers to
understand the information, as compared to still pictures.
2. Processes - Information that needs sequential movement
can be shown.
3. Safe Observation – Information that may be harmful to a
viewer’s health may be viewed from a safer distance.
4. Skill Learning - Motion information can be watched
repeatedly, allowing better skill- learning opportunities.
Advantages
5. Affective Learning - Motion information like
documentaries and propagandas can be used to
affect a viewer’s personal and social attitudes.
6. Cultural Understanding - Motion information
may instill appreciation for other cultures because
people are able to ‘see’ other’s culture.
7. Establishing Commonalities - When people
are able to watch the same material, they have
something in common to discuss.
Disadvantages
A. Misinterpretation - Some motion information may have deep and
complex meanings that are not so easily interpreted.
B. Cost - Motion information equipment and materials are expensive.
C. Unpredicted (technical) problems - It is inevitable to have some
technical problems.
D. Time consuming - The creation of motion information may be very
time-consuming.
E. Not interactive - There is no chance for the audience to directly
interact (ask questions, express opinions) with the material
Importance
1. Showcasing of complex ideas - videos, films and other motion
visualizations are able to present complex ideas: combination of
and clear and proper of elements can help the viewers grasp the
idea presented in the material.
2. Assessment of one’s values - motion materials are known “to
be strong media sources that affect emotions”. For example, being
able to watch poverty-stricken areas in a documentary may trigger
various emotions such as pity, gratefulness or may also inspire
viewers to re-assess what they may have or have not done to help.
Importance
3. Learners and culturally relevant events - motion
materials can be powerful instructional tools to update learners
on the current community (local, national and or global) events.
4. Theoretical connections – motion materials are also
powerful tools in helping learners visualize theories being
learned or introduced. For example, “Albert Einstein’s Theory
of Relativity is very comprehensive because of its relevance in
studying the universe but by enhancing [the lesson] with visual
motion representations; [...] learning can occur”.

Fifth Dimension: Selection Criteria
for Motion Information and Media
Catchy Can the motion information
capture the attention of intended
audience?
Concise Is the information shown in an
orderly manner?
Comprehensive Does the material show all possible
aspects of the issue being discussed?
For example, if the topic is about
teenage pregnancy, does the material
show the socio-economic,
educational, psychological,
physiological and moral aspects of
the said topic?

 Sixth Dimension: Design
Principles and Elements
A. Elements of Film

1. Mise-en-scene “put into scene”; all necessary elements that complete a

scene must be present and must have to be properly arranged: characters with
costumes and make-up, props, lighting, setting all must make sense.
2. Cinematography manipulation of movie shots; necessary to put a dramatic
vibe in the video; three kindsa) camera angles which refers to the perspectives
used in shooting a material; b) camera distances which refers to the distance
of the camera to the object or element being recorded; c) camera movement
which refers to the manner of how camera shots create motions by its
movement.
A. Elements of Film

3. Editing act of combining separate film pieces together, follows

a script which includes effects that make scenes more meaningful.

4. Sound important to add more emotions to scenes or to further

explain a scenario; two kinds a) diegetic refers to the sound heard
within the film world which includes conversation of characters,
horns of cars passing by, knocking on doors; b) non-diegetic refers
to the sound heard outside the film world which includes
background or mood music and narrator’s commentary.
B. Motion Media Principles

1. Gather information -The video makers have to have

clear objectives before gathering information. “Intensive
research should be employed so that the right elements
would be chosen”. Information that needs to be research
may include, but not limited to, the causes and effects,
preventive measures and preparedness for the effects.
2. Choose a format -This refers to the way the video is
executed.
The following are some of the
common preferred formats:
I. Interview an effective format because information provided are first hand;
interviewer is the one who asks the questions and interviewee is the one who
provides the information
II. Documentary can be done through: a) narration of events with footages and
pictures; or b) series of interviews, no narration, but with a storyline
III. Video magazine “less formal”; hosts narrate important points; with higher
entertainment value
IV. Story-based-”uses a scrip in narrating a story; involves actors”
V. Talking head “less complicated than an interview; involves multiple cameras;
interviewee answers the questions first, and questions by the interviewer are
created at the end”.
C. Select a style - This refers to the mood
created in the parts of or the whole of the
motion material. This greatly depends on the
topic, on the information and on the scene
being shown.
D. Add appropriate elements -These refer to
additional elements that would make the
information more credible. For example, if the
motion material is a success story intended to
inspire young entrepreneurs, then a successful
entrepreneur’s struggles into becoming a
success must be included in the material.
 Seventh Dimension: The
Storyboard
Storyboards are “graphic organizers
represented by the use of frames, which
show the sequence of the video before
its creation” (Hidalgo and Mopera
2015). This serves as the video makers
‘map' so that they know the correct
order of scenes.
