REFLECTIONS

Experience
I encountered some difficulties learning tools in Adobe After Effects because I had never used it before, and had only practiced it once in the previous exercise task. The software offers so many options, which made it quite challenging. However, I'm glad I managed to complete this final project on time. This project was the most enjoyable for me because it allowed me to design something personal. The freedom of expression made this project so much fun for me.

Observations
I noticed that using Adobe After Effects is a complex task, but once I learned where to find the tools and how to use them, everything became much easier. The best way to master it is by practice. I also realized that watching YouTube tutorial videos helped me become familiar with new techniques.

Findings

After experimenting with After Effects, I discovered that there are countless effects available within the software.
