Lip Syncing Workshop

   In the lip syncing workshop we experimented with lip syncing a Taylor Swift song in a group of three, each taking turns to perform and direct thinking about composition, framing and location as well as how well we were performing and syncing the clips.
   Composition and framing was taken into account largely, using what we had learnt from the last workshop task to create a visually successful and interesting video. We used rule of thirds compositions to create aesthetically pleasing shots using negative space as well as experimenting with other perspectives and apertures that we didn't use. I learnt that this can be hard while trying to capture a performer and focus on their lip movement.
   The locations we used were well chosen as they were secluded, attractive and made it easier to compose the shots we wanted.
  The equipment we used was the DSLR as well as the tripod. Also using PremierPro for the editing.

   I feel our final video was fairly successful. The lip syncing was very good and well timed. the cuts between the different singers also worked. I feel the composition could have been improved in a few of the shots but I feel like this could come from having more locations in future.
 
   I learnt a lot about the editing from the lip syncing workshop. I learnt to use markers on Premier pro to really perfect the lip syncing. It was also the first time we shot on location and I learnt how difficult finding the right location can be and how that can affect finding the right composition. In the future I will definitely be more prepared for shooting as I will have thought about locations and compositions before.
