Examination of the Legal Status of Taiwan and the Republic of China
using Charts

Hello:

Here is a Chart project that I would like to make into an animated film. (This will be part of a longer film, and I will find a suitable person to do a voiceover.)


The basic chart is here --

In addition to the "Date" and "Historical Event", there will be seven or eight columns.  (Not all of the columns need to show on screen at the same time.)


Let's do three columns first.   These are the columns for 
Japanese sovereignty over Taiwan
Military Occupation of Taiwan 
Status of ROC in international law


1) JAPANESE SOVEREIGNTY OVER TAIWAN 
So, first we have this basic chart. 

Then a graphic image of "Japanese" appears, and then an arrow slowly goes down.   

See my mockup of this at --
http://www.taiwanbasic.com/rec-temp/mabo/zep-ndates/chart-1.jpg

[ Here is a sample style of an "arrow", but of course it needs to be longer --

2) MILITARY OCCUPATION OF TAIWAN
Continuing on, graphic images of 
USA: pop
ROC: pof
appear

and then an arrow slowly goes down.

See my mockup of this at --

3) STATUS OF ROC IN INTERNATIONAL LAW
Continuing on, a graphic image of 
Legal Government of China 
appears
then further down
Government in Exile of China
appears

 = = = = = = = Notes = = = = = = =

a) When the graphic(s) for a new column appear on screen, and the accompanying arrow is drawn on screen, they should be somewhat BIGGER and DRAMATIC, and also of a shade of color which is slightly darker


b) Then, slightly before the time when the graphics for the next column appear on screen,  the graphic image(s) and down-arrow in this (left) column should slightly shrink in size, and become a shade of color which is slightly lighter


c) Of course the graphics for the new column, and the accompanying down-arrow on the screen, should be somewhat BIGGER and DRAMATIC, and also of a shade of color which is slightly darker


d) If you are confused about the "starting point" for the graphic images in each column, see --
