The final product for my project is an animated data story. It showcases the introduction to my topic, which is The Sexual Liberation Movement, and a short rundown on how it came to be, what it fought for, and how it correlates with modern times. It is an in-depth extension of my infographic work, which only showcased how Young Adults in Malaysia View Digital Sex-workers in a general manner. However, this work centres around how the target group view sex-workers who creates pornographic and erotic content as an act of liberation.

​

The animation used certain questions which are do you watch pornography, what type of content do you prefer, do you think sex-work is morally wrong, do you support sex-workers, and do you agree with people who does sex-work to feel empowered and confident? These series of questions are used to show some type of measurement on one’s support towards sex-work as a form of liberation.

​

The collected data are showcased in the animation through symbolisms and pie charts illustrations. I used animation because I wanted to showcase the data in a more linear and interesting way, similar to a storybook- except in this case it’s an animated one rather than static. It will be accompanied with subtitles, as opposed to a voice over to give a more immersive feeling as I feel like the viewers would not want to hear a boring narration.

​

In terms of the animation feel, I used neutral colours in the beginning of the animation, and as soon as it enters the introduction of the Sexual Liberation Movement, I used a combination of yellow, pink, red, orange, and blue. The difference in colour helps in setting the tone of the story. The neutral colours reflect a society that expects traditional gender roles from women, which is very dull and old-fashioned. Suitable for the era when the movement started, which is the 1960s.

​

In the second half however, I used the bright colours to create a pop colour scheme. This colour scheme reflects with the modernity of the movement and it resembles breaking away from the neutral tone, which represents traditional norms. As for the modernity aspect, it correlates together with the rise of the pop art movement, which began in the mid-1950s. And a few of the popular pieces from this time, which are “Crying Girl” by Roy Lichtenstein, and “Shot Marilyns” by Andy Warhol, uses a similar colour palette. Subconsciously, the viewers will associate the scenes done in this colour scheme to these popular pop art pieces, which translates to modernity and pop-culture. As a result, it helps in creating contrast between two different times, which is exactly what I hope to achieve with using these different colour schemes.
