Lip Sync Excercise

As a group, me and 3 other members (Aleeza, Anisa and Diana) created a lip sync task as instructed by my teacher. We first had to allocate a person in the group to be the main person in the 20 second video to do the lip sync who was Anisa . We later had to find a song which she had to mime to fit in the lip sync excercise and after searching for an easy, perfect song we decided to go with Taylor Swift- Wildest Dreams.

We decided to go with Taylor Swift as she is a well known artist, loved my many including all of the members of my group. Her song was easy to learn and remember and the words were clear enough to mime and later sync the song into our own video.
The time allocated to do this tak was 2 hours, which we managed to film and edit within that time. As a group we came up with 3 locations to film our 20 second lip sync excercise. The locations we chose were the school fields, the stage in the main hall and the stairs outside Private Study. These locations were convinient and a perfect place to film as it fit well with the lyrics of the song and similar to the music video. In terms of props, we adopted the idea of the main character wearing a dress and makeup, as the video shows Taylor Swift dressed up on set, in a dress, makeup and heels and therefore incorporated it in our own video. The filming only took us an hour altogether, and we used a variety of shots such as a close up, mid shot and a long shot from different angles.
After filming, we moved straight onto editing which also took us an hour. We edited on Final Cut which was not difficult for us as we had previous experience from it. However, what we found difficult and what was very time consuming was cutting out the end of the shot to embed it with the next shot. We managed to sync the song into the video and it fit perfectly ready to show to the teacher and the rest of the class.
