Music Video lip syncing practice.
When filming for our music video we took with us, a camera, a prop microphone, a dolly and a tripod, with this we went and filmed, however the locations were not very varied due to budget and time. We tried to vary our takes in order to create an energetic video. The props we used was simply a microphone which relates closely to the original video as it contains nothing but the singers and microphone. We shot the entire video several times using different angles, rather than filming individual parts of the song with different angles, this was to ensure that we could affectively sync it up and that there were no rough spots.
When editing I decided it would be best to put the clips together onto separate lines to make it easier with syncing them up. I layered the clips to ensure that I got them as close as humanly possible, from there I'd cut them down bit by bit until it fit, changing the lengths to fit to my image of what I wanted it to be.
I found that there was a mistake that I luckily corrected before finalisation, where i'd used the same clip multiple times, which caused it to not sync at all and look out of place.
From doing this I have learnt a great deal about the editing process of a music video, how many cuts there need to be, how frequently, and how difficult it is to actually sync up the lyrics to the person in the video. I feel that from this I can produce higher quality work that hopefully looks more like an actual music video rather than a school copy.
