Week 3
This week we were asked to edit some footage and graphics Mr Martin gave into a parody video of the Lalin video we saw. I watched the tutorial provided by Sir and edited the footage.

I initially just edited the footage without the graphics and audio, but after seeing my friend edit it in, I decided to add it in.

Reflection

The exercises acted as an introduction to Premiur Pro. They were fun to do as they were not graded and I enjoyed editing them with no pressure.
