Lip-syncing task

Lip-syncing task
This task was very enjoyable and although it wasn't too serious, I learnt alot of techniques from it. Firstly we have all learnt that we need to know all the lyrics before performing as it's quite destracting when you keep looking down at the lyrics sheet. Choosing a song that suits your voice is more effective and believeable. While performing the song, it was crucial that you sing along to the song therefore making the syncing easier to match up and making it look more realistic. Although the song wasn't very long, it allowed us to have a taster session of what the real music video would be like, we all learnt tips and pointers on how to make the music video look effective and professional. Composition and framing was especially important as while we wanted the lip-syncing to match up, we also wanted the video to be easy on the eye and framing our focal point was critical. In our real music video we will focus on all areas thoroughly to ensure a decent looking music video that our audience will enjoy. That includes filming in appropriate spaces for the music video, taking out any unessesary background objects that would in other case, defect the image of the scene.

While editing our practice video, we used clip markers to market when the song starts and where the person should therefore start singing. I have also been able to learn how to use Premiere Pro in terms of making a music video and how you can chop up parts of a clip randomly to create a dynamic perspective of the video. The default to this project was that for each location we wanted to shoot, we therefore had to perform the whole song which got a bit repetitive - however when we make our real music video, we will choose a personal song which we like therefore making the project more enjoyable.
