Preliminary music video

In todays lesson, we filmed out preliminary music video .. we sang Elton John's famous 'Dont go breakin my heart'
Before we began to film, we had to bluetooth the song to our phone so that we had the soundtrack.
We then began to play the song aloud so that we get to know the lyrics and the beat of the song.
When we began to film, thereasa and myself had to make sure that we sang out aloud so that our lip syncing looked realisitic.

During this process, we learned how to match the lip syncing to the audio to make our lip syncing look realistic, we had to delete the audio of us actually singing and put the audio of the actual song on the timeline so that we could match the lip syncing correctly.

We learnt how to direct eachother, telling eachother what to do to make our performance better.

We also learnt that taking whole takes is better for a music video and easier to take longer clips because it is easier to edit rather than smaller takes because what ever you don't need you could just get rid of.

We also learnt how to fade in and fade out the clips or even overlap the clips by putting them next to eachother on the timeline and putting a dotted icon onto the time line and dragging the line that appeared downwards to create a fade out. In order for the two clips to overlap, we had to put 2 clips on different layers one on top of the other.

Once the video is complete , it will be uploaded on here!
