3.  Find and Open the Count down leader in Class Countdown folder (on one of the Scratch Disk  hard drives).  Use this  clip from the first frame of Picture Start (set as an in point) to the single frame of 2 (set as an out point -include the 2) onto the time line V1a and A1.
4.  Move (Drag or insert) the countdown leader on the Timeline so you can place 20 seconds of black/title at the start and at the end and put the 5 Seconds of black at the beginning of the project. 
5.   Open Black Video (menus: file, new, black video ).  Drag 5 seconds of black onto timeline before your countdown leader.
6.  Capture one of your sound f/xs ( your best from Assignment #1 or shoot a new one) and put this clip after the count down.   Put 2 seconds of black minus one frame (59 frames) between the number 2 and your sound f/x. . 
7.  Cut (using the razor blade) the countdown into one second segments (8, 7, 6, 5, 4, and 3).,  the number 2 is only one or two frames long.
8.  Close and Save your project into your folder on the scratch drive.  Make sure both your project and your sound effect clip are in your folder.
9.  Now go out an shoot footage for your countdown leader.  Shoot a different idea (or sequence) for each number.  Keep in mind time is moving--illustrate this movement in time.  This footage can be edited together latter (it can be more than just one shot per number).  Make sure each shot has at least 10 seconds of footage before and after the section you are planing to use.  Be creative in what you shoot, push the edges. 
10. Capture six different clips or sequences of shots--a different idea/shot (or sequence) for each number.  This footage can be edited together (it can be more than just one shot per number). Save clips in your folder.

14. Capture audio with the mike saying your name and add it on two channels (making the second audio channel an echo) over your 4 second credit (your name) at beginning of piece
15. Create a title for your sound effect and superimpose it on your f/x shot ( alpha channel Key Type) on V2.
