INSTRUCTIONS



Exercise:
Week 1: Arranging video clip in Adobe Premiere Pro

During the first week, we covered the fundamentals of Adobe Premiere Pro. We were given two editing exercises in which we had to arrange the video clips in the correct sequence.

The video clips for the first exercise are from a Mints commercial and are numbered accordingly. We simply needed to arrange them in the correct order.

For the second exercise, the video clips are from a Doritos commercial. They are not numbered in order, so we need to watch the clips to determine the sequence.

RELECTIONS

Through the video editing exercises in this module, I learned a lot valuable experience and skills in Adobe Premiere Pro. These exercises helped me understand shot composition, storytelling techniques, and the importance of visually appealing shots. Overall, I enjoyed all the practice exercises because they enhanced my skills and experience before working on the assignment project.
