Of course, good for us, but we missed quite a lot of important lessons which should prepare us to second year.
MUSIC VIDEO:
Just on a first lesson, we had a tutorial on some features of Final Cut Pro that will be useful and needed while making a music video. Our technician, Micky, showed us how to synchronise sound with video files just by using "markers". Basically, all what we had to do is to choose a word from the song and mark it, and repeat it to all videos. When all was done, we aligned them on a time line and checked if sound is synchronised with sound.
Later on, we had a little more complicated task, as we needed to listen to the music and put the markers on the beats. Music videos should be cut on the beat to create a good flow. Then, all we did was find a right word and mark it on the same video at the same place.
During the preparation time, we had to create a music video with a song given to us by a teacher. Songs were mostly from 1960', and non of us knew the lyrics. So, after dividing us to a groups, we had to start thinking about the video. The funny thing is that during recording time it was raining, and we were not allowed to go outside!

Our singer didn't learn the lyrics, which made most of the video completely out of synch. We also had problems with a speaker, for some reason it didn't work at all or stopped after a minute or so. Of course, all of this made it ever more difficult during editing, as we could synchronise the song with lyrics...
I was taking care of most of the editing, and I spend quite a lot time testing all the features FCP has to offer. Since it doesn't count to our second year grade, I guess it was well spend time... :)
Overall, the final outcome was very bad and extremely unprofessional, especially because of lack of MES and poor acting (lip synch).
