SUMMER PRODUCTION TASK

LIP SYNC
The first exercise we had to complete was to produce a lip sync video, and so in groups we had to film people singing and then join it to the sound, below is my lip sync activity:




I thought that the planning of the lip sync exercise was very unorganized as it had to be done in a very short amount of time, and therefore nobody knew what they were doing. Because of this, the production of it wasn't as good as it could have been and was very time consuming which left very little time for editing the music and the video together.
The editing itself was quite hard, a lot harder than expected because many problems occurred,  for example the actors were lip singing instead of actually singing so their mouths didn't exactly match the singing voice over which made it look quite unrealistic.
Cutting different clips to match the correct timing was also very difficult as it took a lolt of time and effort to match accurately, in every single clip.
Finally, in the chorus of the song the singer has literally just belted out a song, and so in the actual music videos you can see their emotions and it actually looks like they're singing it, whereas in my exercise, the actors didn't look like they were getting into it enough and so the actual voice didn't really match the singing voice - hence, not looking at it's best.

Unfortunately, my lip sync isn't great, mainly because we spent way to much time filming the piece instead of editing it, and so I didn't have a lot of time to put it together and match it correctly. Part of the video we filmed also got deleted, which again meant even more time working on the production, and so organisation could be key to producing a top product.
