We had to take 4 shots of me and Sarah singing the song with the lyrics on the projector, the first was just a straight long shot of me and Sarah singing, the second shot the camera was placed on a dolly and focused on Sarah and the third was the same but focused on myself rather than Sarah, the final shot was of Louis rolling the camera around with the dolly doing all kinds of different shots like tracking and rolling etc.. The good thing about doing all these shots was that when me and Sarah was to mess the lyrics up in one take we could cut to the other 3 shots of our choice rather than have to re take the whole shot so this really saved time.
When we was doing the exercise at first it felt a little awkward as we actually had to sing so that our mouths would make the right shapes and it will look like we are actually singing when the music video goes up and we can't sing but in the end it was really fun and felt like we was on karaoke. We also tried to make expressions when certain things were said in the lyrics however kept forgetting to do them which was a down side.
When editing the music video it was different to editing a normal video what we are used to however once we started we got the hang of it very well, matching the sound to our mouth movements was actually a lot more easy than I expected it to be however it wasn't perfect although due to this being our first attempt we hope to improve drastically in the future.
Overall i found this very helpful and gave me a bigger idea on what we are going to do on our actual music video that we are going to do. It gave us a bigger idea on what shots to use and tips to help us match our lip sync to the music as much as possible.
