I thought it would be helpful to have audience feedback on the first draft of the advertisement from a colleague on the course. His feedback is invaluable as he is well aware of how to appeal to conventions and is experienced in the field of media. the questions i asked him are as follows...
What do you like about the advert?
What do you dislike/would want to improve about the advert?
How well do you believe this advert sells the band's image?
we intend to use this feedback to improve the advert...

Final Cut Pro Screen Grabs
We used Final Cut Pro to edit our music video. We learnt a number of things from using this software. The first thing was importing the files on to the program. We learnt how to desaturate the shots so they looked like we had planned them to look.
The main difficulty we found whilst editing was the lip syncing. It was quite hard to get the words to match up with the actors mouth everytime, it sometimes took us a few attempts to get it right and to either add time on or take it off and decide whether it was from the beginning or the end of the shot.
It took a short while to adapt to Final Cut pro. Adding the desaturation effect took some trial and error, and we had to try two more effects before we got the look we wanted. we used a cross fade audio effect, to counter the harsh ending of the alarm clock at the beginning of the video. once we got the hang of the software we found it increasingly easier to cut in, cut out and modify clip length.
