lip sync task

1. Lip Sync Task!

2. The group used a variety of shot types in
their music video including long shots and
close ups, they also attempted to use tracking
shots which, given the equipment available,
they did quite effectively.
They also tried to use a focus pull from
the sky on to the face which they did
achieve quite effectively however it
wasn’t entirely necessary as focus pulls
are usually used to reveal something in
the background of a shot and the sky
doesn't really do that. However it does
make the video look more authentic

3. In this shot they used leading lines to
draw the viewers eyes to the bottom
of the steps which is where the
performer is.
They also had a nice variety
of locations to keep the
video interesting and
authentic.

4. In both of these shots they
conformed more to the rule of
thirds which made the shot look
professional and drew the
audiences attention to the
performer by creating
negative/empty space.

5. Our Group’s!

6. In this shot, like the other group we
looked at, we used the rule of thirds
to create this idea of negative space
which would draw the viewers
attention to the space that was being
filled. I think to make this more
affective and visually interesting we
could have tried to utilise the depth
of field and aperture settings on the
camera more so that the background
was more out of focus which would in
turn draw more attention to the
performer as they would be the only
thing in focus.In this shot we attempted to use the
technique of symmetry for the same reason
that it would be more visually interesting for
the viewer. We probably could have
exaggerated this if we had used a different
location with steps that had either no bars
or bars on both sides so that it would be
more symmetrical.

7. Looking back at the two shots we
used I think it would have been nice
is we had shot them at different
angles as almost all of them are long
shots and so the video flows less and
is not as aesthetically pleasing for
the viewer.
We did however use the rule of
thirds and utilise this idea of
negative space again. This time
the background was more
uniform the whole was across
whereas the trees one from
before was a bit distracting as
all of the parts of the
background were different to
each other, this meant that the
background in this one was less
distracting and so the viewers
attention was on the performer.
