What went well?
- Throughout the task we were able to implement a number of effective shots to enable the video to appear more attractive. We included dolly shots, close ups and a mid shot in order to help portray the emotion behind each of the singers lyrics.
- We were able to learn the lyrics relatively quickly (15 minutes) and this made the whole process very fast and smooth with few disruptions. Also just in case we missed a line we taped the lyrics opposite us on the light stand so we could see them without making it obvious we were looking. This was effective as we didn't have to have the pieces of paper in the shot.
- Another good element of our lip sync exercise was that although we were unfamiliar with the song we were able to interpret the lyrics to understand what shots were of best use to us.
- The editing was good as we were able to match the lip syncing to the video successfully and even with cuts to the other clips the lip syncing was still accurate.
- Compared to the previous Elton John Lip Sync we have understood how important a range of angles and shots are to a music video.
What could be improved?
- Attention to editing was quite poor as we hadn't realised that we had played the whole track in the video, so although the video had stopped the song was playing on a blank screen which is very amateurish but it is something that we will look out for when we produce our video.
- The quality of each shot type we used was better compared to Elton John however there were still some shot types we didn't use due to lack of time which could have produced a more effective video.
- At one point there is a fault in the editing as the lip syncing is off slightly on one of the Sonny verses.
