This is a redrafted video from Tasks 10 and 11 on lip syncing. I think that this video is much better than the last due to the fact that this time I was singing with the song playing on my phone, not just off the top of my head. This helped tremendously as I synced in with perfect timing. However, I still am not quite happy about the choice of backgrounds or the type of shots taken. Apart from the shot at the end, the camera at a different angle, the rest simply featured me standing and waving my arms about. The lighting could also have been improved by creating a creative lack or excess of it - such as showing me in an area which didn't have much light or standing against a well lit background, such as the sky. Also, some mid close ups could also have been useful in improving the audience interest in the video, as mid shots and long shots didn't have much of an effect.
This is Ed's draft of the Lip Syncing task. It features good syncing to the music, since he also sang to the words during filming and this then improved the overall accuracy of the syncing. However, as with mine, the shots could have been better. Similarly, the only notable one was the last one - the mid close up. The background was the same, as was the lighting. However, the sweep for the instrumental part of the song was smooth and offered some respite for the lighting.
Things to improve for next time:
- Mise-en-scene - More creative background/lighting
- Camera angle/movement
- Quantity of shots
- Detailed planning
- More confidence from actor/actress
