Lip Syncing Task

In this task we had to practice our lip syncing skills. We were put into groups of three, and we were given the song "never getting back together" by Taylor Swift to perform to. After filming we had to upload our footage and sync the video with the digital version of the song and begin to bring all of the video clips together.
Our music video

Once we had done this, we then had to watch another group's music video and analyse their use of composition and framing in their shots they chose to film.

Our evaluation of their music video
After we had done this task we then had to look at several aspects we had focused on during this task and see what we had learnt from doing this task and what we found difficult.



What we have learnt:

• You can add a marker to the audio and video to help sync with the digital sound.
• Composition and framing is very important to making the video look interesting and making it work with the song.
• Performers need to talk or sing, not mime, otherwise it doesn't look good
• Make sure the location suits the theme of the song
• Make cuts to the pace of the music
• Plan what you want to film and how you will do it

Difficulties:

• Lack of mouth movements make it hard to sync with the digital audio
• Trying to constantly think about composition and framing
• Finding appropriate locations
