RELFELCTION

Reflecting on my progress for this project, it was really fun to be able to construct our own ideas to grasp a good understanding on what this module is about to complete this project. There were not much challenges that I faced but I really enjoyed the process from filming to editing the outcome of this project. I strongly believe the skills and knowledge I obtained from this module would greatly benefit me in future projects individually and professionally. I was able to smoothly complete all my projects with the guidance of Mr Fauzi throughout this module.
