There are two very different ways to animate. One of the methods is called pose to pose, and what it is directly relates to its name. Pose to pose animation is where the animator would plan out his/her scene prior to starting any animating. They would then set key poses throughout the animation to give them a solid direction. Once these key poses are set, the animator can then go back in and space out and add "in betweens" as needed. These in between frames will be used to glue the key poses together, and ultimately lead to a more fluid animation.
The other type of animation is Straight Ahead. As with the first method, this one also directly relates to its name. Straight ahead is when an animator creates an initial pose, and then builds off of that. This allows for more creative flow, as the animator is making up all of the poses as they move along. This is best used when you want to have some randomness or wildness to your animation.
Either one of these two methods is fine for animating, it is just up to what your preference may be.
