Practical

In this exercise I followed the tutorial given by first inserting the needed files and set the composition settings.

After that I made adjustments to both circles by tempering with rotation and scales. Then I moved on into altering the position of the fish.

Last, I render the file and upload it into Youtube. Below is the finished product alongside the Youtube link.

Reflections

This is my very first time using after effects. I was very confuse at first because when I was changing the rotation of the circle, the circle rotated very fast. It took me about an hour to figure out the mistake I made, as it turns out that I input the wrong settings, I input the settings to 15 frames instead of 15 seconds.

After making that mistake I continued on watching the tutorial video, which wasn't as complicated as I thought it will be. Although some mistakes were made and a lot of time was taken I am able to follow through it and make the project.
