I had some spare time over christmas to do a thing or two. One of which was this -->
Now the Rubik's cube is a puzzle that has confused mankind for many generations, however after searching through youtube for 10 mins, I came across another vid showing how it can be solved. I used my digital camera and set it to film, I also had to perch it on top of my pin-hole camera I made in the first week because I don't have a tripod.
Once I got the filming done I imported it on my computer and started playing around with some of premier's tools and effects. Two effects that are most noticeable are the brightness and the speed. I decided to use these effect because the actual content of the video was boring and all the same. You are technically just staring at a Rubik's cube while i solve it. To liven it up, i decided to speed up the rate of playback. This keeps the viewers interested at least momentarily, not only because they have to sit there watching it, but also because they cant work out whats going on. This makes them want to know what happens. The colour of the sped up version is slightly lighter, giving a dream like view.
Overall I like it, i got to use priemer some more which is very useful for my course and future works. ^_^

With the same footage you could increase the interest and eye of the viewer. Try cutting it up, using the motion tool to give a closer view, perhaps with movement.
