Compositing for newbies

Hi guys, recently got Maya and recently found this site. Really nice place. I'm into making short films and i want to clear a few things up about VFX and compositing. For instance, lets say i have a scene in a short film i would like to add some VFX to like a bullet, a spaceshit, or somethign liek that how would i go bout setting it up in maya. I know i need after effects to composite it, but how would i go about doing it in maya liek refernce points and what not. Would i just take a guess and do the effect then composite on and see if it works or is there a more technical way; maybe a feature that maya has. I've been trying to figure this out sinc ei got Maya; i'm still anewbie. It's been driving me crazy and i would really appreciate some hwlp. Thanks
