Intro:

our group created a short lip sync video for our test shoot. this allowed us to practice different shots and editing styles to our song before our real shoots.

what went well?

• Within the test piece the use of different camera angles helped to produce a variety of different angles within the edits allowing us to use different cuts and transitions in our edit
• the editing and different filters fit with the beat and all changes in angle and shots were edited to the beat with a consistent pace of edit to the beat
• The contrast between blank facial expressions and dancing produces a conflict of emotions which the lyrics of the song convey. this makes the video relatable to the teenage demographic as they are often conflicted
• the use of close ups allow the audience to understand the character and get to know them and what they are feeling even when no words are being said

 

What could be better in the real thing?

• there could be a wider range of transitions
• allow for more creativity within the edit
• allow for jumps between shots angles and heights to add variety to the performance
• the lip syncing could be a bit more believable

 

focusing forward within the real music video we will make sure that the star image is clear and that the artist seems extraordinary to the viewers yet ordinary enough for them to relate to the artist. We will use a lot more transitions as we used very little within out test piece. We did however use a variety of shots and angles which helped a lot in giving our piece variety in the edit. We made sure to edit to the beat otherwise the edits would have been random, obnoxious and off-putting
