Filming
The sequence was filmed numerous times from alternate angles. We chose to film the song all the way through instead of choosing angles for a particular section of the song. Shot types included, close ups, wide shot, medium shot, side shot and dolly.
Editing
To ensure that the sequence matched the music, I first muted all the filmed clips and input the music so the lip syncing would always be the same. I tried to ensure that no shot was on screen for more than 5 seconds to make it interesting.
Mistakes
The floor that the dolly was used on was not a smooth surface, which made it hard for it to be used efficiently. Also, the lip syncing was not perfect as the lyrics were not correctly sung. The editing could have been smoother as sometimes it appears rough. As the songs were not always sung outloud, the lip syncing did not always seem realistic.
What will I be applying to my final production
I have learned that it is best to film the sequence all the way through to make room for errors. Also, unless the footage is monitored it is better to take two takes of a shot angle before you move on to ensure it is perfect. As well as that it is best to have the lip syncing done out loud as it more realistic. In terms of editing it is important to alternate between angles and shots to capture the audience's attention.
