lip sync practise

Dark Red - Steve Lacy





By using a projector, I was able to create a moving background for my lip syncing video. As I am wanting to use this technique for my final 3 minute music video production, I decided to practice before I film it. I have learnt that darker(/black) backgrounds don't work as well as brighter ones so I'm going to avoid that and that I need remember to crop out anything which shouldn't be in the background (e.g. the corner of the table, cables).

As for the editing, it was more difficult than expect to line the audio up with the lip-syncing so I need to take into account the amount of time I need to dedicate to this if I ever decide to use this technique in other projects.

one minute music video (self-evaluation)

Bittersweet Sweet Symphony - The Verve When creating my production I had a clear idea of what I wanted to do, after some detailed planning I knew exactly how I wanted the one minute music video to turn out.  The purpose of the music video was to create a lyric video where the words of the song is shown in the background and props, this keeps the audience captivated with how the lyrics would be revealed next. I took inspiration from the film "Baby Driver", as well as the "Adult Swim" trend on TikTok from a few months ago. I think my overall idea of what I wanted to do was portrayed well through my final product. However, after filming I found that I hadn't recorded enough extra shots to fill when their aren't any lyrics, so I ended up cutting the clips I had on the beat to make it fill the gap and reflecting back I would film more extra shots to avoid this error. Another way of improving my production would be to include an arc shot and tracking shot, needing...
