Mid Term Essay

I usually spend 3-6 hours working on my assignments outside the class. Which means the average hours per weak is 12-15 hours. It depends on the things that I want to do and if there is anything new that might need to search and watch about it.

Last semester we had a project in Image mythology that we had to use after effect. Honestly, it was like a nightmare for me because I had no ideas how to use the app or how to use the functions probably. When I look back at the final results of that project I can tell how bad I was and how much my skills have been improving. I would probably say that my skills improved due the practice time that I spend after the class. Also, practice assignments that we had in the beginning of the semester were very helpful.
Also, last semester I was straggling doing the basic things in after effect such as, how to set the starts and ends of each moves and how to arrange each moves. Also, correcting or changings things would take long times to do. Now, I feel more comfortable with all theses things. In additional, I have learned many things from the weather project. For instance, now I’m able to do the changes that I want easer than last semester.

In addition, I think I’m pretty sure about the project but I would like to learn more about after effect. I would like to learn how to add audios to my clips. I would like to learn how to work with short clips instead of only working with illustrator files. I have watched many interesting tutorials in YouTube about how to do different things in after effect that I would really like to try them.
I think the effort that I put in my assignments; your feedbacks and my classmates are all play helpful rules in my creating growth. Your feedbacks always help me to pay attention to things that that can make my work look better. Such as, the colors that I should choose, the font that would work better with my designs. Sometimes, I learn more by looking at my classmate’s works.

However, dark places have a negative impact on my energy I always feel like I want to go outside and work on my projects instead of working inside the class. It looks too dark for me, there are no natural lights and the electrical lights are not good enough.
