MOTION GRAPHIC DOCUMENTATION OF PALM OIL PRODUCTION AMONG THE PEOPLE OF NKWONTA, ISUIKWUATO L.G.A OF ABIA STATE

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1. BACKGROUND OF STUDY

Documentation is any communicable material that is used to describe, explain or instruct regarding some attributes of an object, system or procedure, such as its parts, assembly, installation, maintenance, and use. Documentation refers to the process of creating, storing and maintaining records of information, activities, and decisions related to a project, product, or organization. (Kidd, 1994). It involves capturing knowledge, processes, and outcomes in a clear, concise, and organized manner. (Warner, 2001).

1.1.1 Types of Documentation

There are various types of documentation such as Process Documentation, System documentation, User Documentation etc.(https://www.scribd.com)

Motion Graphics: Motion graphics are essentially ‘Graphics with movement.’ The emergence of the technique in the mid-20th century transformed the discipline of graphic design, which until then had centered on static graphics. When talking about motion graphic design, creatives are referring to the combination of text and design elements that is set in motion. Motion graphics animation doesn’t mean a full-blown animated film, like a Disney film with defined characters, plot and narrative arc. Instead, it generally refers to shorter pieces of animation. 3D motion graphics, for example, are prominently used in adverts. (https://www.adobe.com).

1.1.2 Important of documentation

Documentation encourages knowledge sharing, which empowers your team to understand how processes work and what finished projects typically look like. Documentation is imperative for any organization or project, regardless of size or industry. It helps teams stay organized and on track by providing a clear understanding of the project’s requirements, progress, and any potential risks. (Nadav Shevy,2023).

1.1.3 Palm oil

Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil that comes from the fruit of oil palm trees, the scientific name is (Elaeis guineensis).Palm oil, which is extracted from the freshly mesocarp of the palm oil fruit, has been a vital ingredient in the majority of Nigerians diet. The global need for palm oil is fast increasing because it serves as a source ofvitamin E and beta-carotene.After been refined, the oil is filtered to get a liquid fraction, which is being utilized as cooking oil. Furthermore, the palm oil process involves the separation of the fruit from fibrous attachment, followed by the crushing of fruit, heating, and extracting the oil using an oilseed expeller, M,B, Biodun at el, (2021)

1.1.4 ISUIKWUATO COMMUNITY

Isuikwuato, is a local government area is in Abia State which is domiciled in the Southeast geopolitical enclave of Nigeria. The L.G.A is made up of several towns and villages such as Ohaise, Imenyi, Ezere, Uturu, Umunnekwu, Mbaugwu, Isu Amawu, and Ndiagidi. The estimated population of Isuikwuato LGA is 134,568 inhabitants with the vast majority of the area’s dwellers being from the Igbo ethnic division. The Igbo language is commonly spoken in the LGA while the religion of Christianity is widely practiced in the area. Popular festival is held in Isuikwuato LGA include the Ajonkwu festival while the notable landmarks in the area include the Abia state university Uturu and the Uchuchukwu cave in Ahabamenyi. Isuikwuato LGA witnesses two distinct seasons and has an average temperature of 28 degrees centigrade. The average wind speed in the LGA is 10 km/h while the average humidity level of the area is 64 percent. A number of mineral resources are found in Isuikwuato LGA and these include iron ore and kaolin. Farming is also a critical part of the economy of the LGA with crops such as cashew, yam, and oil palm grown in substantially large quantities within the LGA. Other important economic activities undertaken by the people of Isuikwuato LGA include trade and wood work. www.manpower.com.ng(2002).

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

In Nigeria today there are many challenges that are facing palm oil production especially the ones made locally, some of this problems are poor funding, high cost of materials for production,lack of good planting materials, improper milling and lack of technology. This has given room for importation of palm oil into the country from other countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, etc.thereby neglecting the locally made palm oil which can generate more income for the country. Furthermore, the younger generation of Nigeria, doesn’t give much attention to the production of palm oil, due to increase in the importation of it.This has given room for the rise of a gradual abandonment of the process of palm oil production. There is the possibility of a complete forgetting of the knowledge of palm oil production if not properly checked. and steps taken to intentionally document it.

1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES

The aim of this research is to preserve the knowledge of palm oil production and the economic important for posterity.

The researcher hopes to achieve this aim through the following objectives;

A proper and in-depth research about the process of palm oil production among the people of Nkwonta in Isuikwuato L.G.A of Abia State, would be carried out.
An evaluation of the economic importance of palm to the people would be done. How would a generational trade continue to stive?
Document the findings through the use of motion graphicdocumentation.

1.4 RESEARCH QUESTION

For the effectiveness of the project, the researcher while trying to come up with the best possible ways of achieving the project had the following questions:

1. How canIpromote our local palm oil production.

What are the best ways I useMotion Graphics for purpose of documentation?
How can I make known the economic important of palm oil, through Motion Graphics.

1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This research will serve as reference materials for students and young researcher for further studies. It will also help the younger generation know the economic important of palm oil.

this documentation will also be helpful in documenting the history of palm oil.

1.6SCOPE OF THE STUDY

Considering the fact that, there are many different tribes in Nigeria and how they process/produce their own palm oil. This projectis centered around the people of Nkwonta inIsuikwuato LGA. Abia state, on how they go about their palm oil production. The means ofdocumentation isMotion Graphic. Motion Graphics are essentially animated Graphic Designs. It involves adding movement to the element of design in a given layout.
