Process of Porject:

I built the scene first, and realized that at this point the front, middle, and back view of the scene were not clearly distinguishable,So I added volumetric fog and the image became more structured。Then after animating the camera, I realized that the first-person view didn’t feel right.So I created camera shake in the blueprint to simulate the effect of the character walking。Finally, observing the picture, I felt that the glowing effect of the shark’s eyes was not obvious enough, so I added the fake light ,All the effects of light cast on objects are inserted keyframes by my self.
