Assignment #5b More Countdown

1) Open your "Countdown Project" 
2)  Superimpose the Countdown master (numbers 8 , 7, 6. etc.) onto  your countdown footage using 6  different key types (your footage on V1 and numbers from master on V2). You may  Superimpose your footage onto the number (put your footage on V2 and the numbers on V1).
3) Import audio from a sound f/x CD and add a second audio channel of audio to each number of your count down leader (3 sounds).  Somewhere in your three channel audio mix include at least one fade up-fade down.  I didn't demonstrate how to import audio from a CD so you don't need to do this.
4) ) Replace your "Sound F/X clip" with:

A Symphony for Sound F/Xs

1.   Create a one minute symphony (not including opening and closing blacks).

1) Use only: 

A) the sound and images from the class sound F/Xs in the "F/X FALL 03 " folder on one of the Scratch Discs . (this folder should be on each computer--these are your #1 Assignments/sound F/X). 

B) Your (one) extra sound F/X of your choosing from your sound F/Xs.

2) Set up the rhythm visually as well as with the audio. 
3) Avoid using too many special visual effects. 
4) Multiple layers of Audio (mixed).
5) Don't forget that the silences are as important and the moments with sounds--think John Cage

2) Superimpose (Key type: Alpha Channel ) your full name using

1) a 48 point Courier Medium font 2) On one row  3) Justify :Right 4) Center Horizontally 5) Position  in the Lower Third (in the title menu)  6) Aligned with the right title safe zone line  7) Capitalize the first letter of your first and last name 8) In whatever color you need for it to be seen clearly 9) For the last 3 seconds of your Symphony (before the end black).

Preview whatever is necessary, so it runs smoothly. 
9) Export  your  Countdown Leader as a movie (DV NTSC, 720X480, 29.97 fps, 44khz, 16 bit, stereo)  including blacks and your name and excluding your Symphony for Sound FXs, save it in your folder on the server with all the parts. Store this in your folder on one of the computers in the editing room.
10)  Export  your  Symphony for Sound FXs as a movie (DV NTSC, 720X480, 29.97 fps, 44khz, 16 bit, stereo)  excluding the blacks and your name credit at the start and the Countdown Leader .  Store this in your folder on one of the computers in the editing room.
