Lip Synch Task

In today's lesson we spent a whole morning in the TV studio as a class learning about lip synching a song, and putting it together as a music video. So from learning the basic skills from AS, with using the camera and editing. As a group we knew what we were doing, which was a advantage for us all.

So before starting anything practical we had a briefing from the media teachers on what the tasks were, which inculdes the green screen, the uses of a location with a sofa in and then a tracking shot. All of these's were all different uses of the camera to have a variety of different shots. As the groups were divided up in to three's to the different locations, are group started with the tracking shot, in which took time to get the hang of using the tracking and dolly. But once working as a group we were getting some really good fottage in which we could use when coming to editing.


As the morning unfolded we moved around to each of the locations and using a vareity of shots, different moves, different actors in front of the camera, and different people being in charge of the camera. Each and everyone of us really enjoyed doing each of these tasks, as they were all a real laugh doing, and of course we learnt lots from doing this task for when we actually do our music video in the Autumn. I think the two biggest things I've leanrt from doing this task was making the the actor feel confindent in front of the camera, and making sure they sing out aloud with the music, which should be quite loud. I did also learn that to have lots of fottage, if you want to have a fast pace as it will help when you come to editing.


Throughout this morning I have really enjoyed doing this task, as it really pointed out the mistakes in which you don't want to make when making the music video. But then of course it also pointed out in which worked really well.
