Session 3: Deconstructing stories and Photoshop Gifs

Today in media design we discussed how to deconstruct and condense ides and stories into simple GIFS. I learned how to use the different tools, frames and layers in Photoshop to design an animated word and image GIFS with various effects. 

From the Photoshop skills I have learnt I will aim to create 7 eye-catching animated GIFS for the movie The Greatest Showman which is the movie I have chosen for my assignment. 

Each GIF is an aspect from the movie The Greatest Showman. The GIF's I have chosen to talk about are the first, second and the last GIF. 

The first GIF is a quote from the movie where Charity the wife of P.T Barnum's makes a wish for happiness like this forever even though her husband did not have a job but being surrounded by her family is all the happiness she wanted.

The second GIF portrays Anne (Zendaya) and Phillip (Zac Efron) looking at each other and the sentence 'rewrite the stars' which is a song they sing together in the movie. 

The last GIF shows P.T Barnum played by Hugh Jackman being surrounded by the actors and how he produces a show stopping performance with the help of all his performers but the main focus throughout the film is him as it portrays him as someone who rose from nothing to becoming a world-renowned sensation of his times.
