Premier Practise

My Premier Practice

This was my first time using Premier so I had no idea how to use the software but gradually as I learned new techniques and skills I discovered that I could do a lot of things with editing video. We were told in this task to mix film and sound to come up with a video of dancing animals and the city with a variety of music.I think that the music went well with the video but to make it even better next time I should put transitions in between the blackouts to make it more professional. I learned how to use Premier and how to edit video and sound which I can use in the future.
