Lip Sync Excercise

In preparation for the lip sync excercise, we split up into groups and we were given a brief reminder and introduction on how to use the camera's and new technology such as the dolly track.
Whilst we were in the studio we began filming Jacky and Tek moving along lip syncing the track, 'Shake it Off' by Taylor Swift. This was probably the most interesting part of the morning as it introduced us to the dolly track and how to use it correctly.

Next, we moved onto using a standard camera with a fixed lens, and in using this we shot from different angles of myself, James, Bertie and Tyler lip syncing the track. Following this we used a simple shot of all but one of the group standing infront of the green screen.

Finishing the shoot, we went up to the editing suite where we linked the music to the video, this was tricky however once we had the timings matched we were able to have a smooth running and authentic looking lip sync.

The excercise on the whole was useful as it reminded me how to film and cut shots together correctly. The most useful part of it was certainly learning how to link the music to the video.
