Homework (due 12/9)

1. Reading Assignment: In your textbook, VQG: Premiere 6, review highlights of Chapter 13, with reference to the Premiere software. Try to identify in your text the tools and skills we explored in class 4.

2. Final Project Assignment: Start considering ideas for your final project assignment. For your final project, you will create a Premiere movie on a subject of your own choosing, 30-90 seconds in length, incorporating still images, videoclips, an audio track, and a title and credits.

Your final project can be an expanded version of your "Top Ten" project, if you like. It could also take the form of a TV ad, an ad for a Website, a movie trailer, an opening sequence for a movie or TV program, a spoof of any of these, a portfolio of your creative work, a personal self-expression, a representation of a dream, or some other short sequence.

More details on your final project will be handed out during Class 5.
