After that we had our meeting at discord on 6th Jan, and we came out the topic of does goldfish really have 3 seconds of memories as we want to do something more chilling as other groups are doing things that are serious. On the next day, we had our second meeting and we come out with the content research and also the slides for presentation.

FEEDBACK

week 1 (1.9.2021) 
We present our slides today and Mr. Shamsul said that we still need to research more and the topic is quite interesting.

We need to make sure the video is in 3 minutes that we need to cut some scene. We need to come out with our animatic next week.

Mr. Shamsul said that our assets are consistent and he suggest us to draw background for our scenes.


REFLECTION

In this project, I am happy that we chose a topic that is not so heavy or serious as it is fun and easy to remember. I think we had a good start on choosing topic. Everyone in group are friendly and we are working well together.

 I notice that in group we need to be active to contribute as much as we can to get things done faster and better. I found that padlet is a good platform to note down or ideas as this is the first time of me using padlet. During the asset drawing part, because my style are a lot different form Aileen, so I was scared that our style cannot be consistent but it turns out quite well. I also notice that Aileen's draft for the keyframe are very clear, that's what I need to learn from her. 

I had learn a lot of things through this project as everyone are active and willing to help each other. I am very happy to work with my group mates as they would listen to my opinion and helped me a lot. I think I had improve the communication skill with people and also how to work in a group.
