Preliminary Task - How we made it and what we learnt

For our preliminary task we had to film two people singing, and then edit the footage to make the people lip sync with the song, like we will have to do for our music videos. It also helps us to understand how to edit the footage, as it was different from how we have edited before.

We had to get two people to lip sync to 'Don't go breaking my heart' by Elton John. We then filmed both the people singing together, and then separately, each time in one take.

By filming the whole take in one go, when it comes to editing it, rather than trying to match the footage and song to make them lip sync several times, we can just line up all the footage and music at the same time. We can then cut between the different takes as we want on the different layers.

When editing our AS coursework thriller opening, we just used one line and edited it along this. This time, we have all the different layers lip synced on top of each other, can can just change between each take as we wish.
