Definition

An animated GIF is a GIF file that includes multiple images or "frames." These frames are played back in sequence when the file is opened or displayed in a web browser. ... The GIF file format includes a Graphics Control Extension (or "GCE block"), which enables a single GIF file to store multiple frames

Description:

To create an animated gif, a compulsory piece of equipment you will need is a tripod. The tripod will keep the photos consistent and allow for a smoother animation, this is because if the camera was to keep moving between shots it would also move during the animation. When taking the images for the animation a high shutter speed (1/2000 or 1/4000) needs to be used in order to capture clear and sharp points of your animation. A blurry image could stand out during an animation. 

Techniques e.g. “wide angle close up technique” (create labels: techniques, Sequencing technique).

•      Definition of the technique

•      An image which illustrates the technique

•      description of the technique… (what your tutor has taught you: camera settings, lighting setup, equipment used and theory)

•      Techniques work diary

o   post listing exactly how the images were produced.

o   Analysing the visual outcome (how do the photographs look?)

o   Is it an expected outcome or otherwise, why does the photograph look this way?

o   How  might I improve my image?

o   Progression: in the progression section identify whether you would wish to pursue this technique within your personal investigation.

o   Techniques Image bank (target 5 images linked to the technique)

o   Techniques Techniques straight images (target 5 images linked to the technique).

Create at least 1 sequence (comprising a minimum of 4 images within the final (edited) composition  

In your techniques evaluation, you will need to record:

·         Equipment used

·         Camera Settings

·         You will also need to evaluate how the camera settings affected the photograph.
