Lip syncing

 
learning comment: From this task I have learnt the vital skills of being able to lip sync in time with the music. At first, the task proved difficult with the time of starting the lyrics. However, after many times of practicing we were able to time the lyrics with the music with much better effect.

Also, I have learnt from this task how to import non-diegetic music from a clip converter onto an appropriate editing software. From there, it was also fairly difficult to be able to align the non-diegetic music with the lyrics being sang by the singers. Nevertheless, we were able to align the two in synchronization as shown in the video above. As a result, the task was very productive because it allowed me to be able to develop my own lip syncing skills as well as progressing my editing abilities as well.

First video: The first lip syncing footage shows an adequate amount of creativity and imagination used. Instead of a variety of camera angles and cutaways, we simply placed an actor in front of the camera to sync with the music.

Second video: In order to improve this, i decided to shoot a second lip sync video. This time, the video included multiple cutaways as well as more than one person signing. This makes the task, on the whole, more valuable as it widens my range of skills to not only edit numerous pieces of footage together, but also use a range of camera angles such as wide shots and close ups.

As a consequence, the value of the task was enhanced by the use of a second video. The gulf of quality between the two videos is extraordinary but it was definitely worth shooting again in order to improve the overall quality of the task.
