Me and the team came together to discuss the pick the first topic for mission one, after long discussions we all decided to choose  ''The Art of The Animated Gif''. we all thought that this would be the best mission to allow our creative freedom.

Time 6:15

Currently doing research or the gif mission, this consists of reading blogs watch YouTube video to help me better understand gifs and how they are made

Wednesday 25 September
Time 1:00

We just has our second team meeting, we talked about all the research we found and discussed potential ideas for each gif we had to create. we also shared the workload and gave each other roles in the project.

Thursday 26 September

While doing our research we discovered a very simple way to make gifs using our mobile phones. This method uses the apple ''shortcuts''and also us to create a  simple script that could be save to use multiple times.
We made test gifs using this method but ultimately decided not to use this in the final product due the the poor quality gifs made by it
