REFLECTION

Experience: This project is overall enjoyable, it definitely made me a lot more interested in using After Effects. While I am much more familiar with Photoshop due to its similarities with other art softwares, After Effects looked a lot more intimidating, especially considering I had little experience in video editing. While the end result could be better, I am generally satisfied with the outcome. 

Observation: Doing a project with a picture of myself as the main topic was unfamiliar, especially since I am not one to take many photos of myself or in general. This caused me to feel slightly awkward during consultation where it was held online so each student's work would be presented to everyone in the class. Despite feeling this way, seeing the effort made by other classmates gave me enough motivation to continue on without thinking too much of myself being in the final product.

Findings: While looking for research, I found a lot of the compositions that interest me involved a combination of both vibrant and monochromatic colours; two ends of a spectrum. It can be used to separate different themes while somehow maintaining harmony, which I find interesting.
