After recording the audio, I did effects editing on my audio to make it smoother and more in line with the overall animation.

I sent the finished audio to the rest of the team. Unfortunately, due to my pronunciation problem, I couldn't read the lines clearly in some segments, so Gam Jze Shim offered to help me with it.
After recording the dialogue audio, I undertook the work of making subtitles, importing and modifying the dialogue audio.

WEEK 7
The final shot doesn't look very smooth, adding a transition scene in the last shot can put references into the final credits.
REFLECTION
In completing this task, I didn't have a lot of work, the team members helped with a lot of work, responded to messages in the group messages were particularly positive, and many questions in the production process were answered to me. I encountered a lot of problems in the process of making audio, such as not knowing how to export each piece of audio I recorded, the words were not clear, and so on. But I also gained some content, in the application of Pr software, subtitles editing, audio editing, I have mastered these content more skillfully. Many thanks to my team members for their help.
