Our Lip Sync Practice Videos

This was the first lip sync attempt I did for my media course. We came back for a couple of weeks after I completed my AS level, so we could get introduced to what our syllabus for the next year was going to be like. This was quite a fun task to do as it wasn't anything ridiculously serious. We managed to do the tracking shot down the hall way by placing the camera, which was attached to the tripod, onto a wheely chair, creating our own dolly in a way! The end shot we thought was very effective, our inspiration was Peter Kay! 

As you can see, the editing wasn't perfect, the lip sync slips every now and again, but we managed to learn a dance routine and capture footage in a relatively short space of time - which we were quite proud of for our first attempt!  The main thing that i love about this video is that you can tell we are having fun, and sometimes you just can't take each other too seriously.

Back to A levels! Different Year, Different Group, Different Hair!...

The final result of this video i thought was very good for a simple practice video as the editing was quickly cut and we managed to match the lip sync up perfectly (well, almost perfectly at least!)

  We didn't have many problems during the filming, there was of course a couple of outtakes but we managed to manage our time really well and got to the point efficiently, which enabled us to film, capture and edit, all in the space of 3 hours.

Because it was such an upbeat song and every kid from the 90's had to of known it (apart from Troy Hannam) it was easy for us to have a good time, without being too serious, and we got into it very quickly. The idea of doing it on the wheeley chairs wasn't planned but we are glad we decided to used them as it enabled us to spin and move around more interestingly than if we were standing and moving on foot, i believe it made our video look individual compared to others.
I think in our actual music video we will probably take things more seriously, but I like the idea of having an upbeat video, as if someone ends up revealing a cheeky smile, then it isn't a big deal.
