In an increasingly digital world, we find communication becoming more and more visual, often with the use of animated graphic films to explain concepts, messages, etc. In this context, it is important to provide students with basic knowledge of these technologies, so that they can be applied in a project of this kind. Therefore, the student will acquire knowledge of the technical languages of motion graphics as well as applying the principles of graphic design in a practical digital animation project.

Objectives
Objectives
This curricular unit's main objective is to provide students with visual literacy through the transmission of knowledge, understanding and technological expression in the field of graphic design applied to the context of motion graphics. At the same time, knowledge related to graphic design, working methodologies, animation techniques and video composition is transmitted. Factors that are transversally linked to the world of visual communication, specifically the dissemination of an idea or message through the production of a digital animation.

Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
Learning based on practical exercises carried out in class. Solidification of learning through the elaboration of practical projects, in order to encourage students to work on projects that can be found in the real world. Critical analysis of existing projects for the consolidation and application of graphic design and motion graphics principles. Formation of working groups, in order to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing, inter-help, development of social skills and consolidation of the acquisition of knowledge. Promotion of creativity through the monitoring and guidance of the project in its different phases.

Assessment
Assessment
A avaliação da UC recai na elaboração de projetos - elaborados em grupos de dois alunos ou individualmente -, nas suas diversas fases (60% da nota final), assim como no exercício individual de avaliação (40% da nota final). Os momentos e parâmetros de avaliação encontram-se reunidos em documentos apresentados e partilhados com os discentes na plataforma de ensino Moodle. A entrega de ficheiros para avaliação é igualmente realizada através da plataforma de ensino Moodle.
A avaliação individual do projeto final terá em linha de conta a participação em sala bem como o relatório de tarefas, onde constam as percentagens de colaboração de cada aluno. A entrega final do projeto é obrigatória na data estipulada e a ausência em mais de uma avaliação intermédia implica a reprovação na UC em avaliação contínua. Nas apresentações de projeto deverão estar presentes todos os elementos do grupo.
As presenças são registadas no início de casa sessão e deverão corresponder a 75% das aulas lecionadas.
Para exames de Recurso e de Época Especial, solicita-se a entrega de projeto com as mesmas características e condições do semestre letivo, acrescido de teste prático; os requisitos para os exames encontram-se reunidos num enunciado.
