The Art Of The Animated GIF's.
Product:
For our final product we produced our presentation on the topic of ‘The Art Of Animated GIF's’. For our first mission we were given a lot of recommended reading to do to give us an insight or guidelines to follow when creating our final piece which was our GIF’s and our Slideshow.
We made this assignment in
two weeks, It took us time to figure out each other’s hopes for the final
product but I think at the end we got what we wanted which was to understand GIF’s
and how to make them and were there derived from. I believe this topic gave us
the chance to explore a topic that we would of never before.
When starting this project
we all decided to join the slack channel:
SLACK CHANNEL:#ARTOFTHEANIMATEDGIF
Being a part of this
class we were to join a website called ‘SLACK’, this website which is an instant messaging
programme , which has different channels that allow you to connect with people
by using hashtags to speak about different topics. By joining this channel it
gave us insight on other groups in our course who decided to do this topic as
well. This platform gave us the opportunity to be able to communicate with
others with problems or questions that we had or faced throughout the process of
this mission.
We used PowerPoint when
making our slideshow, so myself Sean and Andrew all made our own individual PowerPoint
and then we chose the best parts from each one and placed them together to
create our final piece. I found this process very interesting because it showed
how differently we all viewed the idea of the GIF’s. But also some parts we
viewed the same which was funny as we would end up repeating each other.
When making our GIF’s and
slides we used all the resource on the Intro Digital media page. By using these
resources it helped a lot because at first when brainstorming this idea I was
finding it hard to come up with a concept for a whole ‘project’ to be based on these ‘Animated
GIF’s’ but after reading the resources and bibliography section it helped me understand
what to do. As it gave you basic guides on what to do and what to focus on.
By doing all of this
research came interesting information like:
§
This here is the first known GIF from 2002 which was from
the video game ‘Super Mario Bros’
§ This here is one of the most known GIF’s on the internet:
§ GIF’s are over 30 years old
§ They started to become popular in the early 2000’s but
then started to become more popular because of social media in 2010’s.
What I found out about GIFS are:
§ I found out that
there used for web design and animations.
§ They are used mainly
on all social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, twitter and snapchat.
§ They are used online
to convey emotions through funny images and clip videos.
