The Strait of Hormuz — Documentary-Style Edit (Practice Project)
Self-directed edit exploring why the Strait of Hormuz matters globally and the risks if it's ever closed. Structured found footage into a clear arc — strategic importance, escalating risks, global stakes.
What I did: Color graded for consistency, built motion titles/on-screen text in After Effects to reinforce key facts, and paced cuts for retention on a dense, explainer-style topic.
Tools: Premiere Pro, After Effects.
