Don't Go Breaking My Heart Lip Sync Exercise



Evaluation

Our Don't go breaking my heart video was filmed using a camera, tripod and a dolly. We shot in total 5 whole shots in 5 different angles, the angles were straight, low angle, angle facing male singer, angle facing female singer and a dolly shot.  To make our video seem more realistic we decided that our lip syncing should be carried out by singing out loud, this would help us as it would help to sync our mouths with the song.

The clips were then edited using the layers method whereby we firstly placed all the clips in sync of the song and then cut pieces of each layer to show the clips that we desired to be shown. This was done through the use of the razor tool which allowed me to delete sections of the clips in detail.

This is what the layers looked like before editing.

Mistakes:
I had bad continuation due to different actions between each whole takes so as a result the Lip Sync video wasn't as smooth as it could have been. In addition I feel that I lacked some energy during the filming so I believe it didn't help the video that well. Finally I don't think that my editing was very smooth in some cases the clips I used didn't do too well in matching actions between clips, also when I was lip syncing I think that my mouth lacked expression so the lip syncing in the video wasn't believable.

What I learned and could apply to my final production:
I learned that the focus of making music videos is continuation, as a result I learned that I need to take note of my original actions and should keep it consistent if I am attempting to match the actions on clips when editing. Moreover I also learned that I need to take it slow when editing and analyse which clips and angles are best for each section of the song as this will help to create flow and structure within the video. Finally the last thing I learned is that when and if I am going to be shown in a music video I have to have confidence so that the videos quality does not decrease and so that the audience will be kept intrigued.
