Lip Sync Practise

This is out practise at lip syncing , Tasha Carroll who is going to be staring in the music video decided to do the practise run through. At first she was shy and it took a few minutes and relaying of the lyrics for her to get into character and actually begin to play the role of a stereotypical girl band performance. We noticed she used her hands a lot when miming the words which help the lip syncing look a lot more natural then just standing inform of the camera and not moving . Another thing we found easier was to actually sing the song lyrics, this was because when Tasha was singing the words she was moving her mouth more and her facial expressions were changing more frequently and in time with the beat compared to when she was lip syncing  the lyrics.
We chose to film in two different locations , one on a field and another in front a plane brick wall, we also  noticed that elements such as lighting were man things which has to be perfect because if it was too sunny ark then the whole atmosphere to the video didn't work as well. We did try a run through with her miming the words however towards the end of filming we noticed that Tasha new all the words so we ended up getting her to sing out loud  making more convincing movements and motions being formed from her lips. This will therefore defiantly be the technique we use when filming as it gives across a more natural feel to the video and also the syncing in with the lyrics to the song makes it fit perfectly. By doing it this way we will be able to have control over the timing and make sure it is synchronised perfectly , proving us with a very convincing approach that Tasha , Morgan and myself are actually the ones singing the track. In the second location to this practise Tasha started to do some small dance moves to the songs beat, this is a typical theme that fifth harmony do and incorporate into their music videos. By dancing its making a more interesting video and as well adding a feeling of fun to the performance. Also the genre to tis song is pop and dancing in a pop music is a stereotypical thing which is expected from pop, therefore Tasha has fitted this stereotype.


When it comes to singing in the real music video filming we need to ensure that everyone who's staring in the video knows the song lyrics, this is so that its easier when editing the lyrics in as we found when the song is mumbles the mouth actions don't fit with the song lyrics. The only problem which we noticed that took place when editing was that we found it quite difficult to match the lyrics up to the motion of the facial expressions and lip movements, this is noticed when we change location in the practise video, Tasha is a few second behind and its extremely noticeable. Therefore our editing techniques is something which needs to be improved when it comes to piecing together all the lyrics and video clips .
