Evaluation of Lip Sync Project

Common Shot types:
Close ups

Base tracks: A base track is when the music video is filmed in one angle/shot throughout the whole song in a location. Once you do it in a different angle in a different location filming the whole song again it will mean it is another base track. Music videos contain base tracks so that there isn't too much going and there is sense of repetitiveness.

In our lip sync video we used around 5 base tracks and chose to do the close ups and wide shots in order for the audience to familiarise with the artist since one function of a music video is to promote the artist and we believe having various close ups would achieve this. 

The base tracks were used in different sequences and at times in rhythm and beat of the song. This enabled to give the lip sync project structure.

When using the markers in Premier Pro, I thought we done a good job. We were good at catching the rhythm of the song which helped us place the markers in the right place.

Weakness:

• Last frame lasted too long - this was due to the fact we never had another shot to compliment it therefore we had to leave it as that. So in final music video we will make sure we will have a variety number of base tracks so our music video does not fall short.
• Lip sync was not as precise at the beginning of the video but you know what they say, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!

Strengths:

• The prop we used (the sunglasses), matched the mood and tone of the song which implied not revealing emotion.
• Overall a well executed lip sync project and video.
