Lip Syncing

Lip Syncing

It was difficult to edit the music in order for the lip syncing and music to match up. We decided to have the music playing out loud from a phone in order to have the right words a rhythm. We used both an outside and inside location in order to see the lighting difference and see if it'll effect the lip syncing, this was a successful outcome because both lip syncing looks really convincing. The song has a repetitive beat however the words can be quite fast therefore the diction and mouth shape needs to be convincing. We decided that if the actor actually sang the song rather than mouthing it, it would possibly look more convincing as when you lip sync your mouth creates bigger actions therefore not making it look realistic. We will use this technique when filming this music video because we feel like it'll be the best way to control and make the singing look convincing. 

As our music video genre is R'n'B our actor needs to make herself look submissive and have the audience engaged by looking at the camera, where as other genres such as Rock won't even look directly into the camera. We used Sara and Amy in our experiment; Sara, because she'll be our actor and Amy, because she is one of our team members therefore she'll be able to understand the difficulty on the task and how to improve it.
