Practise Lip Synch Video

In the planning of this as a group we all had different ideas which made it difficult to think of one idea that we would all like to work on. Eventually we just went with one song called 'trust and believe' by Keyshia Cole. I was filming the shots and I was focusing on getting a range of shots taking into account that we had only 20 mins to do this. I focused on wide shot, long shot, close ups etc. The camera was handheld so I had to make sure I wasn't shaking the camera. In the editing process, we wanted a fast cutting rate at the beginning as the song had a load of beats, so we thought of filling these spaces with footage. in time with the beat. In terms of mise-en-scene one weakness was finding nice locations that did not wash out the actress. One strength was that once we had found a location, the locations had nice simple backgrounds to make the video look good. Our initial song was 'excuse me miss' by Chris Brown. considering that the actress was a girl we noticed that the lyrics didnt suit the actress so we changed the song. Overall, I enjoyed working on this mini project.
