This information graphic is about the time traveling that in some movies in order to compare them. We can appreciate this relationship through the orbits in the infographic, and we can observe if they are traveling to the past or, by contrast, to the future.

This is an abstract graphic information, but it is trying to look figurative being represented by orbits (although time travel does not have to involve doing it in space).

Moreover, it is functional, as each element has its role in the infographic. Thus, it has few decorative aspects.

It is a very dense information graphic, since it has many orbits and information about a lot of movies. The few decorative elements are another incentive to this feeling of information overload.

It is also multidimensional, as it shows travel to the past and future (in more than a single layer).

Still, it's a very original infographic, since we are not familiar with to see graphs represented by orbits.

There is any information that is repeated, therefore all aspects are novelties.

In short, it is a complex and deeper information graphic: it shows many different elements even on the same subject. Therefore, this Infographic may be interesting to those moviegoers who want to analyze the films that are shown or for those who just want to see a film.

(Source: http://www.infographicbox.com/infographics/auguste-lumiere-150th-birthday-2/)

This is an information graphic dealing with the 150th birth anniversary of the Lumiére brothers, the fathers of cinema. In the infographic we can appreciate the most relevant events of their lives, their first film, the cinematographe and how their invention affected the mass society.

It is an almost entirely figurative graphic because, although it explains the information with the help of text, drawings show what is represented.

Therefore, the infographic has a lot of decoration that reinforces the information but, at the same time, it could be eliminated.

It's a pretty clear graphic information, although numerous decorative elements will transmit the feeling of some density, but we cannot notice an overload of information.

It is quite unidirectional, as it displays different information about the same topic.

This is an infographic that is familiar to us, because the information is represented through drawings. Still, there are certain aspects in the original way to present the drawings.

Moreover, even if there are redundant elements that are repeated, most of the information that shows the infographic is novelty.

Thus, it is an intelligible and shallower graphic information: it displays basic information on the same topic in a simple, clear and direct way. This may be an infographic aimed to people that don’t know how the cinema was born, as we have said above it shows the basic information in a very superficial way, without going into further reading.

This information graphic is about the relationship between film and money: those that have generated and have cost more money, and the statistics of the current directors of cinema. Costs and revenues… cost effective?

This is a pretty abstract infographic for how information is represented, although there are some charts showing images from movies, which make it also figurative.

It also has some decorative elements that could be deleted, but there are others who have their own role in the information graphic.

We can observe a plethora of information, which makes it a much denser infographic, although the manner of representing it is quite simple and straightforward.

It is multidimensional, because we can observe that different layers are used in order to express the same information and data.

Most of the graphics used are familiar, except some of them that are not very original, but we are not so used to seeing.

It is also quite redundant in some ways, because it repeats information in numbers when we have it in graph form.

In short, it is a deep and complex information graphic, because on the same topic opens up a whole range of different and dense information. Therefore, this is an Infographic aimed more towards people who know the movies that it speaks about in order to do a deeper analysis of what it represents.

ANALYSIS 3 (source: advanceinternet.com)

(Source: http://inspiredm.com/oscar-infographics/)

This information graphic is about the most treasured film awards: the Academy Awards. The infographic shows the most fascinating aspects of the prizes: the artists with record numbers, a timeline with the most important events in the history of the Oscars and a little curious comparison.

This information graphic is very figurative. Except the timeline, information that is describing is represented as it says: for the records of the Academy Awards, the author uses cartoons (Oscars) to show the number, and uses also drawings for the comparisons for to make it much more visual.

In addition, we found several decorative elements (such as the figure of Oscar in the middle and all the drawings on the timeline).

All this makes the infographic quite dense, due also to the amount of text that we can observe around each shape.

Despite being all turning around the same topic (the Academy Awards), the information displayed is totally different from one another.

The timeline, comparison and bar charts are very familiar to us, so it’s not original at all.

We can say that the infographic is also redundant since it added them to graphics text and number, so you can even get repeated information.

To conclude, this information graphic is intelligible and shallower as it shows the information in a very simple and basic way. It is not very deep in some aspects, but it highlights the curiosities of Academy Awards. Therefore, this infographic could be interesting both moviegoers and those who just follow it occasionally.

(Source: http://tdylf.com/2012/07/12/infographic-french-cinema-at-a-glance/)

This is an infographic dedicated to French cinema: the evolution of production in France in recent years and a journey through the history of French cinema movements, productions, artists, awards,...

Is a rather abstract graphic information if we analyze the bar chart and the timeline, although it also has some figurative aspect (like the ticket of the beginning).

It has various decorative elements, such as the political map of France and the film images on the timeline.

Although part of the timeline may seem a little dense, overall the infographic is quite crisp and simple and without information overload.

It is completely unidirectional because it reflects aspects of the same subject (French cinema), but totally different information representing each one of them: they could be independent graphics.

The entire graphics that it shows are familiar to us, since we are used to see bar charts and timelines in our day to day. Therefore, there is no originality in the way in which information is represented.

Although some information is repeated, the vast majority of the data showed appears for the first time, so it is not redundant.

Thus, it is an intelligible and simple information graphic: it explains clearly the basic information necessary to understand the production of French films in recent years and its history. Furthermore, the infographic does it in a aesthetical pleasant way, so it is a graph that attracts anyone (not just movie fans).

This information graphic is about fifty years of James Bond on the big screen: the actors who have played him, the movies that have been most successful at the box office and other things to highlight in his films.

It's an infographic that shows information in a rather graphically way, in the sense that it explains everything through draws and very visual symbols, except for some data that are represented abstractly.

There are many decorative elements: the most noteworthy is the great Bond figure that dominates almost the whole image. The draws are also another cause, but they also have their own function.

The information graphic is not showing too much information and represents it in a clear way. We cannot appreciate an information overload, although the infographic displays different graphics.

It is quite unidirectional in the sense that it shows very different information about the same subject, although some of them can be easily relate.

The infographic presents information in a way that is quite familiar to us (bar chart, draws, symbols,...), but the main information is displayed in an original way (with a dartboard).

The information is redundant in some aspects, as it shows the picture and name of what it represents, so it repeats inputs.

In short, we can say that this information graphic is simple and rather superficial: it deals with a single topic, but provides interesting data not too much deeper. This could be interesting for people who like the film but is not a fan of Bond, because as we stated above the infographic shows the basic aspects of the movie that are not very profound: it is perfectly used in order to get an idea of ​​who is James Bond.
