Personal shoot 9 - Work Diary:

The aim for this shoot was to leave me with as may images as possible so that I could create a animation. This shoot was a re-shoot of shoot 2 where i photographed the different stages of Megan putting on her makeup. For this shoot i decided to do the same thing this time in the studio and then use the photos to create an animation. I felt that an animation would be an interesting way to demonstrate this idea and a way of contrasting with shoot 2.

Progression: 
This shoot was a follow up to a previous shoot, overall i think it was successful but some improvements could have been made. While i was happy with the images that were produced, while i was editing these together to attempt at making the animation i found that there was issues with the way that they were lining up. I think that if i was to recreate this idea i would be more precise with my shots. I would ensure that a tripod is used and that there is little if any movement between each of the images. 

(the animation can be found on my blog under the label 'animation')

An animation is something that can be formed from one single image, or a selection of images put together. The animation can show a moment of a figure or object in the image or can be something as simple as changing the colour.

Below are the steps to create a simple animation.

1. Take images as desired, it is advisable to use a tripod to ensure stability. 

2. Upload these images to photoshop, and edit them in the way that suits your project, e.g. adjusting the levels and curves, making them black and white.

3.Flatten all of your edited images, and then stack them on top of each other so that the all become separate layers.

4. Click 'Window' and then 'Timeline', select 'create frame animation'

5. Now you can add all of your images to the bar and order them.

6. Once you have formed your animation in a way that you are happy with, press play and then make any further adjustments that are needed. 

7. To save the image change the size to 20 and the resolution to 72, then save the image as 'save for web' ensuring that it is saved as a gif.
