Evaluation of "they dont really care about us" lip syncing task 2

My second attempt at lip sync with a song of our groups choice went much better than our 1st attempt because we were more familiar with the song and more confident with lip syncing in front of the camera. Because at 1st we all felt quite stupid, however now it was rather enjoyable.

I experienced less difficulties this time the only problem was finding a location but in the end we decided to film in the entrance of a friends flat. i think the location added to the serious atmosphere of our song.

We used mostly close ups and mid shots in this piece as these shots allow for easier synchronisation in the editing stage.

We also added a slight bit of dance into our piece to and done close ups our stamping feet and clapping hands to make it more music video like and interesting !

This was the 1st time we have practiced lip syncing. It wasn't as easy as i thought it would be because it requires tight and precise mouth movement and at times requires exaggeration of lip movement which can be embarrassing for some people. it was also difficult keeping up with the song as our group wasn't familiar with the song.

I think we did use location well as we moved around a lot like they do in proper music videos which i think makes our short piece more interesting.

As the director i selected many of the camera shots i wanted to use a variety of shots. However i noticed that close up shots are easier to synchronise to the music as you can see the mouth movement more clearly.

Our clip included:
high angle shots
long shots
mid shots
and we also panned to capture Mariam's erratic dancing

I think our editing was very accurate towards the end and was well synchronised even though we didnt have as much footaged as we wanted.
