For our music video, the second exercise we done was to get the group to understand how lip syncing worked and how the video and sound merged together. We had a demonstration in class about how to lipsync on Final Cut, and it was explained what process you would go through in order to do it.
First, you would have to obviously upload all the footage. Then using the CD player track on the actual footage sound, you would find a part in the song which would be significant, for example a chorus or a particular word. Then, you would mute the CD player sound from the actual footage and add the audio track in.
Finding the same part of the song, eg the chorus, (Also showing the music wavelines) and marking it with a marker, would enable you to place the video and music together. Providing the video is lip synced or sung right, the track would match. You would then add other performances in and cut away unwated parts, enabling you to be able to cut from different angles, locations etc and different characters - this would make sure you had a correct lip synced video.
The video was just a starter exercise, but made sure I knew how to lip sync correctly and I learnt that the correct timing and lip syncing is effective is very important in terms of making a music video.
