1. Reading Assignment: In your textbook, VQG: Premiere 6, review highlights of Chapters 4-6, and Chapter 8, with reference to Premiere software if you have it. Try to identify in your text the tools and skills we explored in class 2.

2. Project Assignment: Think of an idea you want to develop for your first class project, "My Top Ten Movie," which will be due on December 7. This video editing project should represent a countdown of any "top ten" list of items of your choice, in order of importance from least to most important. You can use your own graphics, video clips, and images, or incorporate images borrowed from class exercises, CDs, the Web or other sources. You may add a sound track if you like, but it is not required.

Your "Top Ten" project should:

• be no less than 10 seconds and no more than 30 seconds long.
• include transitions between clips (video or stills).
• show numbers, or some equivalent, counting down from 10 to 1 in the foreground or background of your images.
• include at least one superimposed video track.
• include a title with your name.
