Phones in class animation

Animation progress so far:

In this lesson I began to create my animation showing how phones should be used in class. Firstly I made an extra layer then I added a symbol for each drawing of the phones. When I had made each symbol and dragged the first one onto the background layer and added a keyframe at the beginning and the end, in the middle I added a motion tween motion and moved the image off the frame, I will do this with the rest of the symbols until I am pleased with my animation.

This is my animation, it was different than I hoped the end product to look like because I lost a couple of symbols. The animation is supposed to be giving out a message to say that you should not be using social networking sites online and it should always be on silent. What this animation misses is that phones can be useful at times, for example using a calculator on your mobile phone can be quicker and more effective. There is a print screen of the calculator above the animation which shows that it is supposed to be in the finished animation however I somehow lost it. 

Final animation:

Although I had a problem with losing my work I managed to get all the frames that I needed. In another lesson we were asked to make a soundtrack for the video therefore I have to make a YouTube video, here is the link.

Flash

During our interactive lesson we used flash to make a short animation. I decided to make an animation of a tree, I didn't think it was too difficult bearing in mind I have not used the software before. However I am not very good at drawing so I struggled when drawing the tree with the brush tool. In order to make it an animation after drawing each part of the tree I clicked on insert then I went onto timeline, after that I selected keyframe. When I have selected that I carried on drawing and did this after each step. 

I then repeated the same steps for a Christmas related gif. This one involved more steps however it was a lot easier because I knew the steps and I knew what to do. 

The week after I tried outcome more gifs, the one below was a little more difficult than the others and it took more time to do however I got the hang of it eventually. I started off by drawing a ball on the first keyframe, I then right clicked on the 60 then moved the shape to the other side of the frame and went to the middle of that section to select create shape tween. Next I inserted a key frame at 120 which was the end of my animation, after that I right clicked in the middle of that section and selected create shape tween again and I changed the shape slightly. This step made the shape change as it was moving across the frame.
