In this activity we learnt how to lip sync, then how to match this with the actual track. In order to match the video with the audio, it meant that the person lip syncing had to know the lyrics in order for this to be done. Our teacher told us the best way to do this, was to actually sing the song, rather than mime it, as it gives a more naturalist feel.
We were given the song "Boggie Nights" to recreate.
What did you find most challenging?
I found it hard to use the camera handheld, as for a music video it is best not to use a tripod. I found this tricky as you had to be really still and to take smooth shots, as you had to be able to quickly move the camera to wherever the person was going. Especially if they were moving fast or jumping around, it was hard to take smooth clean shots of this.
What new tools did you learn on Final Cut Pro?
I learnt what the marking tool, was and how to use it. I also learnt how to see the audio of a video.
What are the differences to producing/editing a thriller and producing/editing a music video?
When editing the thriller, you could just cut bits out that you wanted, whereas with a music video, you have to use the marking tool, to mark everything out, which also includes marking to the beat of the song. With the thriller you couldn't really use jump cuts, because this would make it look a little weird. In the thriller, you couldn't cut to, this that and the other every second, however when editing a music video you can. The thriller had to be more precise and continuous, we even had to think about how to properly edit the match cuts. Whereas in the music video, things don't have to correspond as much.
