Intro To After Effects
           What is After Effects?: Adobe After Effects is a 2.5D animation software used for
                                                     animation, visual effects, and motion picture
                                                  compositing. Film, television, and online video production all

                                                     A distinct method is used by Adobe After Effects to create 
                                                     animation manipulates both rasterized and vector images. You 
                                                     can also incorporate photography and film with physical media.

Pre-Composting in Adobe Photoshop
           Transforming still images (graphic elements and photography) into moving images.

           Compositing Layers in Photoshop: Photoshop is essentially a platform for layer 
                                                                           compositing. To make everything organised and 
                                                                           simple to animate in After Effects, every layer needs 
                                                                           to be renamed and arranged appropriately.

           Animating layers sequence from various elements and platform.

           Compositing Layers in After Effects: Adobe After Effects is a compositing, motion 
                                                                              graphics, and visual effects software. In essence, 
                                                                              After Effects allows us to import many materials, 
                                                                              including pictures, video, vectors, and more. It is 
                                                                              necessary to arrange and synchronise every layer 
                                                                              element with external software platforms like 
                                                                              Photoshop and Illustrator. After Effects files link to 
                                                                              their media instead of embedding it.

After Effect Exercise
           In this exercise, Mr. Fauzi had instructed us to try out Adobe After Effects in 
           preparation for our final project. Mr. Fauzi had given us the composition below for us to 
           try and animate.

Figure 2.3 Tutorial on After Effects 


           After watching the tutorial, I started on my own video. To be honest, I had nothing I 
           wanted to do in specific which definitely hindered the completion of my video for 
           awhile. But after brainstorming for abit, I had an idea of what I wanted to do, which was 
           make the shark look like it was getting fended off by the fencer.
