How I Didn't Win the Sam Newton Editing Challenge

Some time ago, Sam Newton and Karl Shakur and Vincero Collective and all those guys hosted an editing challenge, which like the last one I participated in, I didn't win :D
The good thing is I didn't really expect to and my intention from the beginning was to make it in a way that would allow me to share tips and tricks that might help you, the viewer, edit something similar in the future. Enjoy :)
