In our double lesson, we took the time to practice filming our star lip syncing to our song to gather strengths/weaknesses for when we film our real shoot.

What went well:

• Fisheye looks really effective
• Lyrics are in sync which we thought we’d struggle with
• Gathered ideas on how to adapt our location to make it look effective on camera, eg add posters
• Gathered ideas which we will use in real shoot – eg. canted angle

What we can improve for filming the real shoot:

• Get even more shots, can never have enough
• Get variety of lip sync and non lip sync shots
• Film less mis shots, need more close ups and long shots to show the entire mise en scene of our star.
• Rotate who uses the camera and films the shots

Below is a rough cut of the song, which is our practice shoot which eventually turned out being quite good in which we gathered lots of ideas which we will repeat when filming the first shoot, such as zooming in as our star walks away and the use of the fish eye lens.
