Opening premiere to create new file

We have now opened a new file on premiere so that we can capture the footage from our shoot and it has been sensibly named AS coursework so that we know what the file that we are using is. However we have not started adding footage yet as we have not done our shoot which we plan to do this Saturday. We ensured that the scratchdisks of the file are the same as the settings that we are using for the file and it was important that we set the video file to DV PAL so that we have the best quality that we can use for our coursework.
