Lip Syncing Exercise - Reflection


This week we ventured to the studio in order to learn how to accurately lip sync and record the footage in the best possible way. Personally through this exercise I was able to learn how to accurately portray lip-syncing in a way that will look the most satisfactory after post-production. What I have noticed worked really well was playing the music with the lyrics while shooting so that your actors can easily lip sync to the music. Otherwise if music is not played while footage is being filmed then the lip-syncing is out of tempo and almost at all times incorrect. Also I have learnt that shooting lip synchronization from different angles is more pleasing to the eye when edited in post-production. Furthermore by doing the following if an actor does not succeed in an element of his/her lip sync, the camera can simply cut before that happens to a different angle of the same area within the music. Finally I found using different areas for a single lip synch more attention grabbing, although only necessary if one element is not intriguing enough. When completing our lip sync exercise we captured it through three different elements, which in turn did make it more appealing. Generally this exercise has prepared my well for the future creation of a music video in the sense that I know understand how a lip sync works and in what ways I can possibly use it within my educational facility.
