REFLECTION

- When I first heard about this module, I was very excited. Because I am very interested in taking and producing photos and videos. I learned various compositions when shooting, and learned how to edit videos through these tasks. I really enjoyed dubbing while learning the sound. Actually, I wanted to learn acting as well. So, I was able to work harder and have more fun while dubbing.
