In order to practise for our music video, we did a lip syncing task, this involved practising a song and then filming people singing it and then cutting it to the music. The purpose of this is to give us an opportunity to rehearse lip syncing, choosing a song, matching the visuals to the sound, and creating a narrative. This is good practise for our main project in September. We decided to chose the songs 'Touch' by little mix. We chose this particular song because it is a very well known and everybody knew the lyrics for it, this made the lip syncing much easier as we all knew the song prior to filming. Trying make sure that the timings were correct and that they accurately matched the words coming out of the mouth. In order to make sure that we knew the lyrics, we rehearsed the lines before filming. In order to cut to the beat, we had to think creatively in order to use different locations that would match the song. Also, because we knew the song, we knew where the song verses changes, this meant we knew where to cut each clip. We also used different singers so that it was easier to cut to the beat. We used a variety of effects as we were experimenting in this task. We used many colourful effects to make the video seem more fun and creative. As well as this, it seemed more interesting than using the same plain effects. I would make sure to film more close-ups of each singer to add more variety to the video, due to most clips being filmed wide shot. Andrew Goodman states that the use of close-ups is vital in order to sell star image, if we had featured more of these, we would have been more successful in selling our video. I would also use a wider variety of locations to ensure that our video was as interesting as possible. I would make sure that each singer is more familiar with the lyrics to save time by spending as little time rehearsing. I would also use different locations, in order to create variety and keep the audience interested. Therefore we will need to make sure that our lip syncing is in time, we need to add a variety of shot choices and locations.
