 * Create a NEW TITLE at the start of your movie - it should be added to Video track2
 * Create appropriate text - the one shown at left will give you an idea of the desired format
 * You can use YOUR knowledge of typography to maximize the title's effectiveness
 * BTW: to put a stroke around plain text in Premiere, select it, then apply one of the fancier styles from the options on the right. NOW you can go back to the colour properties (the small paint palette) and customize the fill, stroke, font face etc.
 * Extend the title so it spans the entire movie form start to finish ||

 * Select All clips (Ctrl-A) and move them about 5 seconds - extend the title BACK to the start, and extend the first slide to the left about 2 seconds so it's now 7 seconds long.
 * Right mouseclick the title and the first slide to make them fade in

Test your movie and see how it flows. SAVE! ||
