Final Reflection

Final Reflection
This year in e-Communication I learned a lot about animation. I haven’t been the best at all of it, and I might have fallen behind quite a bit. But I did learn a lot. I think the subject that I learned the most of was special effects. This was one I was looking forward to and the one I did the most work in. I liked learning how to use Maya and After Effects. I have also learned more about working with a group.  During the final project, I learned that I am good at taking charge of something like that.

We learned mostly everything we did in this class from the teacher showing us how to do it and then we have to replicate that in our own way. We can ask for help along the way and if we needed to, the teacher would re-teach something if we really needed it. I would have liked it if this teaching process was a bit different, but overall, it was ok.

Why is this important? Well I am going into video next year and I think that the things I learned in this class will help a little in that class to. I may be able to add a 3D object to a film or even add some special effects. I think that with what I have learned in this class for just one year, will maybe even help me get a job later on in life.

Well I have a lot of weaknesses when it comes to animation. At the beginning of the year, I didn’t get anything turned in, and if I did, it was either late or not very good. But now in second semester, I have been doing a lot better in getting assignments turned in on time. Yes, there were 1 or 2, but the ones I did turn in have met in expectations of the project. I might not be the best at this class, but I have improved quite a bit in my opinion. When it came to the final project I was assigned with making some of the special effects. I did a lot better job than I thought I was going to do.

I don’t know if I am going to use the things I have learned in this class to much. I may or may not use it in Entertainment next year. But I might be able to use it if I did YouTube of professional video later on. My dad also does Internet marketing and says he would love for me to for some of the things I learned for him as well.

There are a few things I would change about this class. I think that the current teaching method. I think that instead of the current teaching method of showing us the entire project on screen and the telling us to recreate that, I think we should go step by step as a class. That way nobody falls behind and gets confused.


I liked this class because I had lots of friends in it. The content was fun to learned but I could get frustrating at times. The teacher is funny and I love the e-Communication program and I cant wait to go on with it. Thanks for a great year.
