Creating the animation: Arms around a child

I am planning to create a final animation to help portrait my fact in the most intresting mannner. To do this I have taken my initial poster :

I have developed this image futher into a short storyline with a large impact. Here is the storyline I have created : 

As you can see in this sketch my main idea is to create a spinning bullet out of the gun to hit the wall and splatter with blood finishing with bold writting over the text stateing save this innocent blood. To do this I created a basic sketch of what I want the end slide to look like here is what I created : 

All I need to create the few screens that will come together to form my animation. Firstly I need to create a image with the bullet included to create the motion of the movement between the bullet coming out of the gun and hitting the wall. 

The main step after this is to create the needed blood spatter for the text to sit atop I may have to do this in creative way to create the look that I want.  To complete this I used a the school yard technique of paint and a straw allowing me to create a realistic blood spatter here are a few that I created :

From here I placed the image into photoshop to not only define the lines but also to create the perfect red colour  that is blood and add this to my final poster along with fitted text stating " save this innocent blood " hopefully referring back to the topic and making a large impact : 

To go from here and create my animation I needed to import my layers for example the text and then the gun, on to single layers that can be moved easily. Here is an example of my sections:

These need to be created into motion through the process of completing a timeline on this timeline each object will be slowly placed into the screen at a time to help create the first and last images. 

From here we can create the tweens this will not only create the movement that forms the animation but also bring the speed. I have selected to add ten tweens in-between each action except from the firing of the gun which I wanted to be a swift action just like it would be in real life. After This I have my final animation the last step that I needed to take was to turn it into a GIF that could be saved for the internet to do this i selected save for the web and then a box will appear from here you can save the animation correctly . My animation did need changing at this time to be a saveable size to do this I not only adjusted the caves size but also the pixelation and quality of the image. 

From here is my final animation :
