Lip syncing practice

When doing the lip syncing practise I learnt alot. I did it with my group member Paige, at first we filmed it together both singing out loud before we filmed Paige singing on her own singing out loud. Next was me, I didn't sing I just mimed and when it came to watching it back we realised that it worked better when miming as you can make it look alot more realistic. And so we re-filmed Paiges.This was helpful as now we know who is better to do the performance in our music video and also we now know not to film it singing, but miming instead. Over exaggerating looks much more realistic. By doing this we learnt what not to do and what to do in our filming of our music video.
Because we have a very upbeat song we also want to have artist interaction/dancing in our video, this will make it look more professional and also fit the conventions of a real music video.

Song lyrics with ideas

We printed off our song lyrics and analysed them, this is because we wanted some of the shots to be parallel with the sound.

Using this theory I compared Backstreet boys- Backstreets back and Justin Timberlake ft Jay-z suit and tie

Music video feedback

Narrative- Having the idea that we're having a circular narrative with the head phones at the beginning and end is a really good idea, but make sure that the editing we do is of a standard that compliments the idea we want to create.
Genre- The balance between an upbeat and slow song is perfect. We can have a mix of longer shots with short sharp shots. The beat of the song is fast pace and slow to begin with. The lyrics themselves would be easy to lip sync to. Be careful to not make the editing dull.
Concept- Overlapping images and projects are a good idea and original. Good referencing to Jaden Smiths music video.
Performance- Try avoiding coping other performances and shots too much, its easy to copy a video that's already been made. Having shadows and projections are a good idea.
Settings- Having one setting being in a pool is a good way to link the lyrics and the images.
Advice- make sure shots aren't too long

Prelim task

Making the Britney Spears- hit me maybe one more time Prelim task
From doing the preliminary task I learnt mainly about lip syncing but also about angles.Also continuity is key, in the prelim task people dissapear out of shots, for our music video we have to make sure that everything is perfect so that it is more professional. Trying to control so many people proved to be harder than I thought, especially when we had to bring in other students to help us out as they weren't media students. I think it will be alot easier when doing the real thing as it will be just me and my group member, meaning we can be much more precise with everything.

What went well- We heavily planned what we were going to do, going through the Britney music video shot by shot, by doing this we wrote out exactly what shots we would need and what angles too. We also had to video up on one of the group members phone as we went along to make sure that we were doing everything right.
Even better if
We didn't get all the footage we needed, such as the clock or the bell. This made it look very bodged.
