Lip Sync Task

For our lip sync exercise we used Icona Pop - I love it. We tried a variety of different shots (e.g. close up, mid shot, long shot) to help improve our lip syncing technique. Overall I feel our lip sync went quite well however if we were to do it again and do it with a more photographic mind set, rather than seeing it as just a task to get done, I should try to use a setting that is better lit and maybe use a variety of scenic locations to make the piece a more visually interesting and generally better. Also I think that some of the edits could have been a lot better in that they didn't seem to be synced well enough. This has taught me that for our actual video it is very important to be precise in editing because even just having one frame out of time could ruin the entire thing.

Preliminary task

Our Preliminary task was to create a 20 second music video. Our Group chose the song 22 by Taylor swift.
When we presented the video to our class the majority said that the performance, editing and effects were good, and that we also successfully managed to lip-sync the video. However, we could have tried to use other post effects such as colorization or attempted to use the green screen as the point of the preliminary task was to try out techniques that we didn't quite know how to use and I personally already knew how to do the effects which we created. Also, we rushed the filming and did it in two days at our school, whereas it could have been good to use different settings and go to specific places like some other groups did.
