Reflection on personal creative development during the semester

Overall I'm very pleased with the skills I have learnt within AE and with visual media as a whole. I have previously used AE for other assignments but was never really taught anything of real use and importance. throughout the semester so far I have learnt many things that i would have loved to have known last year for other subjects e.g. masking within AE and the animation of those masks, motion tracking and the ability to import PSD''s straight into AE. Also on a more personal level, when i watch TV i find myself analysing all the ad's and trying to figure out how they have achieved certain effects and if I would be able to replicate them with the skills I have learnt. Honestly out of all the subjects i have completed in the 2 years I have been attending QUT this subject would have to be the one i have learnt most in and is probably my favourite as well.
