New skills learnt in lip sync tutorial

Normally when I watch simple music videos, they look quite easy to produce. I was proven wrong when I and fellow members of our group had to produce a music video to the song: He's the Greatest Dancer by Sister Sledge. As the song was quite upbeat, it required a lot of movement and fast-paced editing. Since the song was by a female group, I had to lip sync along to the song with a group member. Personally, constantly being in front of the camera felt uncomfortable especially when I didn't know the lyrics well due to the short amount of time to learn them. After miming to the song from start to end 4 times, we moved onto editing. This proved to be extremely hard compared with the preliminary thriller work as we had to make sure the video fitted exactly with the song and the editing pace had to match the song. After the long editing process was over, it was converted into Quick Time.

When creating our music video in A2, we must:

• Learn lyrics carefully, preferably by heart
• Plan the filming leaving more time to edit
• Edit must be precise and fit with the pace of the song
