What progress have I made since the start of our coursework?

I have made great process since the start of my coursework. When my partner and I first began we have never used frame by frame before. Frame by frame is the programme we are using to create our adverts, with help form Mr. Michie and constant practice we leant the skills needed to create what we wanted for our advert. When it came to editing on flash I spent some time developing my skills to allow me to be able to import our frame by frame clips and add animations to them. We spent a lot of time mastering the techniques such as using layers to add moving arms and legs throughout the clip and adding key frames when needed to produce the animation. We also learnt from our mistakes throughout the process of our coursework, for example, after spending a lot of time editing our first clips we didn’t realize until we exported them, that the clip didn’t fit into the screen. We realized that we needed to change the size of our imported clip on flash to fit the editing box before editing so that the whole clip could be exported instead of lost. The process of advert one took a lot longer than we had first anticipated when it came to the second and third advert we realized we needed to be more organized to be able to meet deadlines.
