In order to get a little more comfortable using the software Adobe Premiere, we each had to create a clip around 30 seconds long using footage of dancing animals and clips from James Bond movies.
For my Dancing Animals clip, I used a range of footage available in order to make it fit in with my song of choice, which was "Freaking Out The Neighborhood" by Mac DeMarco.
This song has an upbeat, summery vibe, which I felt went well with the opening shot of the animals break dancing. I also used a shot of a shark driving in a car, and used this entire shot instead of trimming it down, as I liked how it went with the beat of the song.
I then found a few clips of time-lapses in cities, and used a warp effect on one to go with a certain part of the song where the guitar does a little riff.
I especially liked the city shots, as the bright colors and low quality added to the summery 80s vibe of the song.

The second clip I made was of various James Bond scenes edited together. I used the James Bond theme as music as it obviously suited the clips, and pieced the clips together accordingly, using fast paced clips where the music got more intense and slower clips when it sounded calmer. For example, I used a clip of a woman coming out of the sea and slowed it down in order to match the speed of the music. I also tested out many effects in order to get used to using them, and decided on using the Solarize effect over the same clip of the lady, as I liked how it made everything appear flatter and more 2D, whilst also making the scene more colourful.
