More Filming Ideas

Over the weekend, I have been considering a number of ways to make the filming much more dynamic and interesting. This keeps the audience on their feet, and allows some sort of performance/narrative balance in the music video.

Although I had abandoned the idea earlier of having a fantasy "theme" I think I can probably re-incorporate this idea again into the base lip-syncing I will get Sara to do. I have already informed her to memorize the song again, all I need to do now is get a day for filming planned very soon!

Again, like before, the visuals of this needs to be properly considered. One idea of a visual was to have different coloured ribbons tied to trees as Sara wanders around the woods singing the song. A good location for this could be in QEGS School grounds, where the woods are slightly overgrown.

Lip Syncing

Editing is moving swiftly as the deadline is approaching. However, I did stumble across a minor error, but it can easily be corrected with some extra filming.

Considering the music video follows the journey of the singer, most of my lip syncing is based around her "traveling" in the music video. However, it's easier to create a base clip of Sara, the actress, singing the entire song. This way, it can be a "foundation" for the music video and it would easier to match the music to the song.

This is done using the marker tool, as seen in this picture.

The marker is placed in match with the music on the video clip and the music on the audio clip. For example, the marker is placed on the word "Calendar" and then "Calendar" is found on the audio clip, and then the two are snapped together. This automatically allows the lip-syncing to be matched exactly. 

Re Equipment

Hi Ria, Will have camera and tripod ready for you to collect at 3.15 unless I hear otherwise.
