Introductionm49512f5e8b326602_1528450127855_0Introduction

The task of the students is to revise the information about adding animation to the elements of a multimedia presentation. The students organize the information about animation by using the sentence completion method.

Animation is a way to:

- emphasize (e.g. an element of a presentation),
- control the flow of (e.g. information, data),
- increase the attention paid by (e.g. the audience, a recipient).

- Entrance effects make an object (e.g. fly in or appear in the slide area).
- Exit effects make an object (e.g. fly out or disappear from the slide area).
- Emphasis effects make an object (e.g. grow or shrink, change its colour or spin).

- Motion pathmotion pathMotion path effects animate an object so that it moves (e.g. in the specified direction, along a set path or your own custom path).

Procedurem49512f5e8b326602_1528446435040_0Procedure

You can create custom animationcustom animationcustom animation effects by applying:

- multiple animation effects to one object,
- a motion pathmotion pathmotion path animation.

You can apply multiple animation effects to a single object. When working with multiple animation effects, it is the most convenient to work in the Animation Pane,

[Illustration 1]

In order to open the Animation Pane, select the object that you want to animate and then click Animation Pane on the Animations tab. When you want to apply another animation effect listed on the Animations tab to the same object, select it and click Add Animation.

In the TimingtimingTiming dialogue box you can set the method of starting, duration and delay of each animation.

[Illustration 2]

When you work with multiple objects and multiple animation effects, operating the Animation Pane can be difficult, as the default names of the object are not descriptive. In the Selection Pane, you can give objects unique names to make it easier to work with them.m49512f5e8b326602_1527752256679_0When you work with multiple objects and multiple animation effects, operating the Animation Pane can be difficult, as the default names of the object are not descriptive.

Motion pathmotion pathMotion path animation

The motion path animation effects in PowerPoint are divided into three groups.

[Interactive graphics]

Among custom motion pathmotion pathmotion path effects it is worth to single out the following tools:

- a custom path – curvecurvecurve,
- a custom path – scribblescribblescribble,

which require completely different methods of path creating.

To draw a curve, click the starting point and then click every point in which you want to change the direction of the curvecurvecurve. Double‑click to finish drawing. To draw a freehand path (scribblescribblescribble), click the starting point and hold the left mouse button as long as you want to draw the path.

In order to change the custom path that have been drawn, press [Ctrl] and click the custom path or right‑click it and then click Edit Points.

Task 1

On the internet find the image of an insect. Design the animation simulating its flight.

[Illustration 3]

Every object can move along the path which comprises multiple paths. You can add another pathes by using the Add Animation tool.

[Illustration 4]

Task 2

On the animation slide design your way from home to school. Insert a map downloaded from the internet in the background. Choose an object which you want to animate. Depending on how you get to school, it can be a figure, a bicycle, a car or a bus. Add motion paths so that the object moves the same way as you.m49512f5e8b326602_1527752263647_0On the animation slide design your way from home to school.

Lesson summarym49512f5e8b326602_1528450119332_0Lesson summary

You can add animation effects to your presentations. The animation should be carefully planned so that it attracts the attention of the audience to important information or image. Note however that too many animation effects in a presentation can have a reverse result.
