The document describes the process used to create an animated graphic to represent statistics about youth populations as percentages. This involved inputting the statistics into Excel to determine the best numbers to use, drawing people using shapes for the head, body, and hood, and then having the hoods gradually appear on the drawings to visually represent the percentages given in the statistics through the use of key frames in Premier.
2. For the statistics about youths we wanted to
use the hood to represent the percentage of
the population.
To do this I first took our research statistics
and put them into Microsoft Excel. I then
worked out what he best percentage and
number of animated people would be best to
use.
3. The next stage was to create the people
themselves.
I did this by using two separate shape tools.
The circle for the head and rounded rectangle
for the body.
To then form the hood I used various sized
semi circles.

10. We then had 20 un-hooded cartoons to
represent 100%
The hoods then appeared subsequently
according to the percentage of youths in the
statistic.

12. To get the effect I replicated the original
twenty times.
I then worked out what number of hood I
needed to ascertain the correct percentage
and inserted the required number of hoods.
To make them appear gradually I used the
smaller hood first and graduated the size so
they appear to be going up.
I used key frames in premier to regulate the
speed and timings of the rising.
