One Day Lip-Sync Project

This is the video we did for our one day lip-sync project. We were first set into groups and then given a song to lip-sync too. My group got 'Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby'. So we put it on a phone as a way to listen to it mobile. And we printed of the lyrics to the song to learn. We divided up parts of the song to lip-sync to. So after we got our camera we went to find a location to do our lip-sync video, we found a place which was perfect behind an old building with graffiti on walls so it matched with the music really. We set the camera on a tripod stand recorded what we did, so we could get in time with the song and lyrics we had the music playing on the phone so we could hear it and lip-sync at the right moments. We did several takes of doing it so we had more shots we could edit. We did just a med shot for the first takes we did in that location where you could see from waist up of the person lip-syncing. For the chorus we each recorded ourselfs lip-syncing the chorus so we could edit the video so each of us did a line of the chorus. In another location we went to a field. For the camera we had someone hold it following the person who was lip-syncing like you see in some rap videos. so it was looking down(High shot) on the camera almost. Then for our last location we just stood under some equipment at a park. Had the camera so it was a long shot so you could see us from just about the knees. For the last verse we just stood against a wall had a med-close up from shoulders up. So we all did the last one together. For the 20 seconds of just the music we filmed ourselfs walking around the field and we edited it by decreasing the colour and speeding up the shot to 250% so it would go quicker this worked well. So after we got all the shots we needed we edited what we had on the macs using final cut pro. We used the shots we had from 3 different locations and cut them so we took parts from each of them and used them for our verses, we did the same for all 3. So in the end I think the lip-sync project went well we were in time with the song and the video fits to the genre of the music.
