M2 Explain The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Animated Gifs

Introduction: In this task I will be discussing the features, advantages and also the limitations of animated gifs and that is for P3.
For M2 I will be comparing animated gifs to another animation format such as flash and I will also include things such as a few examples of flash and also animated gifs. If it is appropriate I will also include screenshots to support my findings and research. I will also be referencing the findings.
Last but not least for M1 I will be explaining the following:
• Persistence of vision
• Animation techniques used by historical pioneers of animation and these will include people such as William Horner, Edison and also the Lumiere brothers.
• I will also be explaining an animation type that is known as Claymation.

Another advantage of gif is that they are supported by literally every web browser so this good because you won’t have a limitation of choosing a web browser that will support your gif image.
