Lip Syncing practice

   

There were a few challenges when lip syncing such as getting the words correct and saying them in time. As it's a slower song I also had to time the actual length of each word correctly. I also avoided eye contact with the camera quite a lot and looked quite uncomfortable as it was the first time doing it. So it was difficult to be convincing but in the end I became more confident and more in sync with the song. I believe that artists of different genre's should lip sync in different ways to not only appeal to their target audience, but to help with their own image. Pop artists such as Katy Perry tend to over lip sync such as in her music video for 'Roar'. This type of over acting appeals to her target audience. For artists of our genre alternative R&B, it's better that the lip syncing is more natural and not so 'fierce'. There were some challenges of syncing our video with the music as firstly, the original song was not available on the app we used. So the first time we uploaded was the music was not in time with my lip syncing. After finding the track we used to film with, it then was easier to sync in time, therefore in the end looked professional. From this task I have learnt that I need to be more confident with my lip syncing by learning the lyrics and making eye contact with the camera. This will ensure a more natural and professional look overall. What we had learnt from the editing process is how to successfully sync it in time, but to also use the correct song when filming.
