After effects experiments

These small experiments were done on After effects.  It is the first time I had used keyframes to animate on After effects.  Even though they are short, basic animations, I did find the process of animating them quite hard and I am not really happy with them as I didn't achieve what I set out to do.  I have watched tutorials on After effects, but non have seemed to help me understand it any better so far.  It is a piece of software that I have had difficulties with and have always found quite complicated.  However, it is something I feel I should persevere with and try to learn more about in terms of animating, as it will be very beneficial to me.
