It says that you should have a slate with white text on a black background with your team name/number, your project's title, and the length of the video itself (not including credits, the 2 one seconds of black or this slide). Then you have 1 second of black, then your animation, then one second of black.
You can add whatever you would like before this point but until then I would steer clear of fancy displays.

The time starts as soon as the one second of black is over.
