We were given a preliminary task to do, this was to create a quick music video for the song "Don't go breaking my heart" by Elton John and Kiki Dee. It had to be about 1 minute long and we had to sing the actual song with the track to make the lip syncing seem more realistic.
To start we had to bluetooth the song from one of the computers to a phone, we then used the phone to play the music as the boys sang along to the music. We also printed off the song lyrics so that they boys knew the lyrics they were going to sing.
We then found a room which was not as difficult as last year, we also found that the sound of people talking didn't matter like last year because the sound is taken out and replaced by the track.We then set up the camera where we needed it and played the song and got on with the filming of the shots we needed which were, one shot of them both, and two shots of them separately. We then uploaded what we had captured onto the computer ready to edit.
We used final cut express on the imac to do our editing. It was quite easy to get the syncing in time from the lips and the song. Once we got the timing of the first shot all the rest followed as it followed the song which made it simple. We went with the beat of the song and managed to think of some split screens that made the video really interesting. We then played around with the sound and fades to bring the different shots we had captured together.
