For our third exercise, we were asked to choose a song in groups of 3/4, not knowing what the song was at first. We were then told the song and asked to do a lipsync video in our groups.
I worked with Matt L, Alie, Mike and Kirk, and we were given Dizzee Rascal - Dance With Me. This was in my opinion the hardest song to do, as it was the fastest, had the most lyrics, and we had the longest period of the song to fill up compared to everybody else. However, this was a challenge but we thought having a good attempt was the best way to do it.
The pictures show stills from our lip syncing video, the lip sync timeline on Final Cut, and the markers we added to the song in order to lip sync correctly. We then had to find a location and were given 45 minutes to an hour to complete the task. We chose the woods outside and we then had to mime or 'lip sync' the words to the song, we could even sing it if we wanted to, as the original track had to go over the top anyway.
As a group, we found this extremely hard as we had to lip sync the words, which were very fastly spoken. In the end, I think we did a good job in terms of our completed video. This exercise really made you think about the importance of mise en scene, location, camerawork and editing in terms of a music video and how they affected the final outcome.
