Proposal:
For this Assignment we were asked to create a 1 minute long sound commercial. We were told to work in groups up to 4 people. Working a group we decided to create a "macbusters" commercial, were basically we were a fictonal company who would come round to your house if you were unhappy with your mac, we would smash it up and replace it with a "nice" windows machine.
Research:
The assignment was set to be completed over 2 working days leaving no real time for research we just picked up the software and threw some ideas together as we worked.
Planning:
In terms of planning we knew the time schedule was tight so the idea was to write some ideas down on some paper roughly until we come up with a final idea. The next thing would need to do is make an accurate script of the dialogue.
Also we needed to teach ourselves Garageband (for making our own music tracks) and Adobe Audition for putting the final piece together.
Planning into Practice:
We stuck to the planning schedule, worked out some ideas for the final piece and made out a script for the dialogue.
Using the microphone and software we recorded the sound clip and copied this over to our accounts. Using adobe audition we edited the sound file trying to remove any extra sounds we didnt expect in the background (computer fans for example) and made the voice clearer.
We decided on using 2 pieces of music and edited these into the final piece adding fades in places to add to the effectt the commercial was trying to achieve.

Review:
Overall i think the commercial turned out well, it was better than i initially expected after going through the script but with adding the music it really brought the piece together.
We did try to create our own music pieces in garageband but in the end opted for real music as we felt our own made tracks didnt accompany the voice and overall impact of the commercial.
If i had the chance to do it again i think i would have liked more time to do it then we would have been able to spend more time creating our own music which would have been more fitting for the commercial.
