Choosing Our Protagonist

Following our lip synching practise we needed to decide which member of the group would star in our music video. Before making this decision, we asked our peers their opinions, taking this into account we decided that I would be in the video. The majority of those asked said that I was well suited to the song and could lip synch realistically, an opinion that our group agreed with. Now that our protagonist has been chosen, we will be able to start making key decisions, for example, costume and make-up choices, this will allow us to begin filming soon.

Lip Synching Practise - Audience Feedback

We decided to get some audience feedback on our lip synching practise video. I think that this was beneficial in order to gain an unbiased opinion on our lip synching and editing abilities.

Lip Synching Practise Vlog

Here is a group vlog from today evaluating our lip synching practise video:

Lip Synching Practise

Editing our lip synching video proved to be more difficult than we thought, it was quite hard to synch the audio with the video in a realistic way. Making even the slightest change to part of the video shifted everything else, meaning that we had to continuosly re-edit sections. I think that when it comes to editing our final music video, we should edit the clips beginning at the start of the song and work our way through, by doing this, we will be able to perfect the lip synching of each shot without having an effect on the clips ahead.

Filming for Lip Synch Practise

We have practised lip synching to our song 'Hypnotic' so that we can learn more about filming for a music video as well as allowing us to practise editing. We decided to play the song out loud whilst lip synching so that we would be singing in time, I think that this made it easier to film and made it look more realistic. We filmed each of us separately so that we can see who suits the song best, allowing us to choose who will star in the music video.
