My Lip Sync
This is my lip sync to the classic 80's anthem 'Never Gonna Give You Up' by Rick Astley... I chose this song due to its legendary status and because I couldn't really think of anything else!
I found the whole process a real eye opener! It was a great chance to practice some rather extreme camera techniques and become accustomed to performing. Another useful aspect was the turning of the rough footage into a polished final product, utilising various techniques common in music video. Although out of sync (shoddy youtube) the edit was perfectly in sync and this was another area that will prove important in the editing stage. Points for improvement include concentrating on the performance and not background fuss and really nailing those lyrics to help make a perfect sync, as well as resisting the urge to burst out laughing!

Workshop Reflections
1. What do you think you learnt from Friday's workshop? It could be specific things about making a music video OR general things about the production process.
More so than just learning a set of techniques, I lthe workshop gave us a overall feel of what shooting a video would be like. The skills we picked up off the professionals will no doubt aid us majorly and gave us a wider knowledge of how the production process of a music video works. Aspects like lighting, camera position and movement and the composition of the shot with the use of framing were especially useful for me.
2. For you, what was the best bit?
The most enjoyable part in my opinion was the shots with the perfomance, as they gave us a chance to let go and go a little crazy, and the rest of the acting was fun too.
3. How do you think the work we have done will impact on your group project?
In addition to getting as many shots from different angles as possible I think it will definitely influence the amount of time spent on pre-production. The workshop really emphasised the need for a good storyboard to refer back to, a good feel for how your video will look and how the actors should perform, and what locations and props will be needed for the shoot. Also, we will be more prepared to work very long hours.
