Preliminary Task "Don't go breaking my heart"

"Don't go breaking my heart"

When doing the preliminary task I learned how to lip sing in a music video and the production of a music video, I learned that you have to film several takes and sing out loud to make sure you're doing the correct mouth movements and you get into the rhythm of the song so you don't have to have the paper in front of you. Also we learned that when you're doing the takes for the video not to leave caps, as this loses momentum and you forget words so we continued filming and re-doing the video until we was happy so I knew the words of my heart and didn't lose momentum.

After filming the music video-post production this is what we did after filming. We firstly uploaded are video on to apple imac. To edit our video we used Final cut express. We used layers to layer the film so we could cut vertically and I used the taggle clip overlayers which is where you take a piece of the video and lift it up on the timeline then it will play that part then go back to main timeline. This is how we managed to cut from one singer to other and both together  I used the pen tool to highlight the part what we needed to edit and then locked it in so it could be changed. We used the markers to mark on the track/clip and lift it up on the timeline using taggle tool and we matched them up to the lip singing was in time with the actual music video. Lastly I learned how to remove the audio, using the link selection tool to the song fades out.

After analysing the music video I think we edited it really well and the lip singing was excellent however sir did seem to be putting more energy and enthusiasm into the video them me. So for are actual video we will get someone who is confident singing in front of people and someone who isn't confused singer and performing in front of people. We will also continue to use the different angles of camera as this worked well and do the filming several times with no caps as this worked well and i didn't need the paper.

All that I have learned doing this preliminary task i will take on board when i do my actual music video and i will remember all the things that worked well ion the video and what problems we had so we don't repeat them but overall i think I learned a lot from doing this preliminary task and it did give me more confidence.
