Animated Gif - Work Diary


How to make a GIF:

  • Upload all images to photoshop
  • Put all of the photographs I wanted to use to make the gif into one file
  • Click the window tab at the top of the screen
  • Choose timeline
  • Click create video timeline
  • Change the time to 5fps (or however long you want)
Camera settings:
1/290 seconds
f/2.8
ISO: 100

We went to Harlow Park to take photographs for our sequencing shoot, we had to use the photographs to create both a sequencing photograph and a gif, I really enjoyed this because I hadn't learnt these skills on photoshop before. I did use a tripod for this task although I didn't keep it steady so the photographs aren't in the same place, although this can create a nice effect for gifs, I would like to re-do this with a steady camera because I think it would look better, in addition there is a blur on the top of the screen, I obviously didn't check the camera lens before I started taking photographs, this looks quite bad and draws your eye towards it which is a shame because I think the gif is quite good. 

Progression:
Next time I will take longer making sure my camera is set up well and that the tripod is working and is steady.

  1. OK good, now please describe the outcome as outlined in Qube. the instructions on making a gif are straight to the point and clear... in future add screen prints to help support your description (methodology).
