Exercises
Week 1
Arranging Clips on Adobe Premiere Pro
On week 1, we had a brief introduction of the basics in using Adobe
Premiere Pro. We were told to arrange the cut clips in a meaningful
order to make the clips whole again.
Fig 1. "Mints" Clips
For the Mints video clips, it was arranged according to number
sequence. So all we had to do was to compile it together and export
it. As for the Doritos video clips, they are not in sequence so
we have to find out the arrangement on our own.

I used my phone to record this alongside with a tripod. The setting is in my apartment. I wanted to have some fun with this video shooting exercise thus why I went for an awkward & humorous vibe accompanied by elevator much in the background(royalty free song).
