Task Five - Elton John and Kiki Dee Lip Sync



Within this Lip syncing task we took several shots in order to complete it. The various shots that we used where close ups, low angle shots, we also used the dolly in order to record the backing singers and to get a circular view of the main singers. In order to complete this task some shots took a maximum of 3 takes. In order to get the low angle shot the camera was positioned on the floor in order to get the lowest possible angle we could. For the close up shots we got a tripod and positioned it close enough the singer to get a great view of there face to help with the lip syncing process. For the both dolly shots, we put the tripod in the dolly and as we filmed the footage someone had walked round the people that where singing in order to gain a circular view of the actors.




When this task came to the editing process I didn't find it as challenging that i thought it would be. The use of markers came in to help a lot in this task. With the markers put in place it allowed me to get through the editing process with ease. They allowed me to make markers where i needed to sync with my own footage. These made the process a lot more efficient and quicker. The way i used the layer is, the first video layer i had one main clip which was being played throughout then where i cut into the main clip through the layers above, i inserted more clips of different shots in order to fill the gaps. Making sure whilst i do that the video is still in sync.

Overall with the techniques used, i used them to my benefit to in order complete the task with ease. The help of markers, made the syncing of the footage a lot easier. Through the completion of this task it has given be the perks that are needed to be able to create good lip synced footage.
