Week 3

Editing Exercise - Lalin

For this exercise we had to watch a short movie on Youtube known as Lalin, and then use the provided footage to put together a video. The footage was not trimmed so we had to use In and Out to trim in premiers soft monitor before inserting it into the main timeline. Used a dip to black transition on the start and end of the clip.
