Prelim Evaluation - Question 4

The lip sync tasks have been very useful as they make you aware of what is a good, convincing performance and what should be avoided. For example, if you really sing (when filming) - it does look more realistic than if you just mime. It also teaches you to make sure you have enough shots to make the sequence interesting and enough variety to make ius when editing. This task also makes you aware of how you are going to piece together your video, which is reflected in what you film. For instance, its beneficial to film at one location throughout the song so that you always have the option to cut away to it later.t look like a music video. We could improved our lip sync by having more extremes and a wider shot selection it limited

These were the only shots we had for the second verse -which meant we had to fill out 30 seconds with the same 2 shots. If we had filmed CUs and ECUs we could have made a more complex sequence.
