Things learned from preliminary task

The main things i learnt from the preliminary task was that for an efficient music video, you will need:
- good lip syncing, as it makes the music video look more realistic
- editing to beats, as the shots will look on point if the shots match with the beats
- matching setting, the settings of the scene should try and match the song choice as it will make the music video look more realistic.
 All these are needed in our main music video, to make it look more realistic.

preliminary video

he is the finished video of me and my team mate, Perry, lip synching to the track 'don't go breaking my heart'. Although the lip synching was not perfect, its made us realise that when it comes to the actual music video, we will need to make sure the lip sync is perfect. This may have to be done by finding a person who is good at drama to come and act for us. Also it was hard editing the video as the at some points the images didn't match with the video, and so when it comes to the music video we have to make sure that the video blends in with the music.
