Lipsynching task...

Here is what Holly and I did as our lipsynching task. We wanted to do something fun and with tonnes of passion and soul. We also wanted to do a song that we both knew and loved and so we decided upon 'Somebody Else's Guy' By Jocelyn Brown which is both funky and soulful. We both knew the words pretty much all the way through so that wasn't a problem so as soon as we had some free time we filmed it.

Firstly we filmed the whole song one me, then on Holly, and then we wanted a shot where you should see both of us and we could do a routine so we put the camera on a shelf and shot it from there. We knew that it looked more realistic is you actually sing along to the track, because your mouth moves how it would if you were actually singing it rather than mouthing. When we watched back our unedited footage it synched really easily to the music because of this. It didn't take very long to edit because of the simplicity of the camera work (only have essentially 3 shots) and because this was only a task to show how well we could lipsynch and not how well we could edit a fabulous music video.


After editing and watching back the final video I really liked the outcome. However there are things i would've changed. I would've liked to have to have experimented more with the camera work because the way it was edited it looks static most of the time, when in fact we we both moving around each other. Also more close-ups to really show off the lipsynching would've been better for the task

Overall I had a brill time and its just given me even more of a taster to what our real project will be like...and I can't wait!
