Review of lip syncing

Review Lip sync
Evaluation
I found using the new software so much easier than the on that we used last year. Final Cut Pro was just a myth. It was so complicated and long! All the cutting and what not just got so annoying by the end of it all. It had me like:



 So I'm grateful for the change, as it really was worth it. the format was easy to understand and it just didn't confuse you whatsoever. It was an enjoyable experience to try something new and to actually struggle with it a bit, then learn from my mistake. Though I'm not amazing at using it. over time I will be able to use it more effectively and independently. What I enjoy doing is marking the audio and video, so that it the song itself can sync well together and look like its the real deal (obviously not yet, but it will get there). Though some of the lip sync was a bit off, considering it was our first attempt, I feel like we did well and I'm so proud of it. Honestly cant wait until we make our own music video. It's going to great. I'm so thankful for how well we work together at a group and the fact that we are so supportive of each other, we just want each other to do well this year, and the work ethic we're producing is on point. I just hope that we maintain this optimistic mindset throughout this whole project.

Base tracks are shots you see frequently in order to be used to give the music video a structure. In our prelim one base track we used for instance was when "Delilah" had her back up against the wall, on the broze wall, and the camera was shifting from slanted angels of the 3 shots, so it in a sense kind of blended into one shot but in truth it was 3 different angeled shot ofthe same position. The number of base tracks we had was  5. Three on the wall, one of the male charcter's movement, another of "Delilah" in the telephone box. Our basetracks were used to tell a breif story of "Delilah" and a man's relationship doing down the drain.

We used Goodwin's theory of having the artist as an narrator and a performer. The artist also tended to stare right at the camera, as if speaking to the audience, to build a connections and too feel as though she really is speaking to you.

We also used Vernalis theory of having the camera being in sync with the music. Like at the start for instance, when the beat changes, the esbalishing shots also change simultaneously. We have the use of slow motion, which is shown when "Delilah" is walking and there's a close up on her trainers, as well as when there's a shot of her smiling, it's in slow motion, and lastly when she's walking away at the end of the clip. There is also use of jump cuts from shot to shot through uot with is noticeable. From the esbalishing shots, to the walking shots, to the celephone shots etc.
