Lip Sync Practice

As a task, we had to create our own mini lip syncing videos. We were given just a snippet of the song 'All about that bass' by Meghan Trainor and we filmed on a couple of sets in the studio - one with a couch and a green screen in the background, a fireplace, a wall with light beams etc (you'll see them in the video). During the lesson I took the role of a director, camera lady, artist and the person who is in charge of playback. I enjoyed the tasks as they allowed me to see what I enjoyed most, didn't enjoy, felt I was better at etc. Personally I enjoyed doing the playback as I could stand back and see what was happening during the time of the shots. However, it did get a little tedious after a while. Directing was fun as I could put my ideas in front of me and I could see what worked and what didn't. Being the artist was definitely the funniest part as I enjoyed my self loads just taking the mick and miming to the worst song ever.


When we had completed all the shooting we needed, to obviously edit the shots together and make a mini music video. I edited by my self as I preferred it that way and got the whole thing done pretty quickly. I found that because Ben and myself had already used the music video technique in our thriller for A1 I knew how to do the whole process pretty easily and swiftly; I familiar with how to do the syncing etc. I simply lined all the playback beats up with each other in each shot and then picked and chose the ones I wanted in the order I wanted. There wasn't any problems and I labelled each shot in specific colours so I could read them easily. I just deleted all the ones that were no good for me.

Here is the final product of the task:
