Lipsyncing practise exercise

Usefulness of the practise exercise
This exercise has accustomed the group to Final Cut Express. Personally, I found it relatively easy to pick up, though having to render each imported file was new to me from using Adobe Premier previously. The basic timeline layout, along with drag and drop layers was very easy to pick up, along with the lipsync itself. Creating the video gave us ideas of the variation and length of each shot, and how to try and include each band member within a short piece. This will give us a scope of what to shoot, and how to place these shots within the final piece. Whilst editing, we saw the importance of these different shots to make the video interesting, else it looked rather static and bland.
