The Project
Throughout the entire course, I have included project steps that relate to the unit you are in. Here, I wanted to lay out the basic project that I want you to work on throughout the course. It may seem very simple, but I'm interested to see what you come up with.

In the supplemental material of the first lesson, you will find a bunch of files that can be used in this course.

The course project is to put together a short clip combining the interview, broll, & music. You can use any music you choose, or the music that is provided. Add an intro title, lower thirds, & one final credit. You can even use the audio-leveling clip to add some background noise to the b-roll.

This may sound simple, but I want you to get used to using the tools of Premiere Pro that you will learn in the rest of the units.

Okay, so to be clear, your project will be:
1. Intro title
2. A combination of b-roll with the interview clip
3. A lower third title on the interview clip (make up any name you want)
4. Some sort of music underneath it all
5. A closing title
Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Cheers,

Phil
