In today's class, we were taught to use after effects to create basic animations. We started by simply animating a ball along a path to make it look like its bouncing. The second exercise was to create an animation using charts to compare two things.

Final project

Week 1 
07/01/2020

On the first day, Mr. Shamsul asked us to form into groups. My group members consist of:

- Yip
- Rahaf
- Zain
- Ryan
- Joe 

We were then asked to randomly pick a topic for our final Project. We were given the topic " Natural disasters"

We brainstormed ideas for what we could do under the topic. we started with some of the famous natural disasters such as Pompei, and the fires in Australia. But upon consulting Mr. Shamsul he said that we should try to find something more unique and keep searching for more ideas. After further discussions, we finally decided on " Krakatoa"  which was a more unique and lesser-known disaster, yet one of the strongest volcanic eruptions the world has ever experienced.
