For this task, we were asked to choose a song and record videos, for us to then input the mp3 of the chosen song – Poker face by Lady Gaga – and synchronise the video of the star singing the song with the actual audio of the song. This task was the first practise we had in our groups to practise our lip sync recording.

I found that the easiest way was to start recording, allow the model to get into character, play the song through a phone or a speaker and have the model sing along with the song while the camera is recording, then the video is cut. We then put thevideo into the editing software – Adobe Premiere Pro – and cut it to where the lip syncing is and where we want it to end. We then download an MP3 file of the song we are lip syncing to and insert it into the editing software. We then sync up the words of the song in time with the model singing in the video. This is then repeated for many more clips to fill up as much of the song as possible.
