Animated Animal Edit

Our task was to use pre-made footage to edit together a clip trying to use as many skills as possible with the special effects and editing using final cut. One of the tasks was to edit the clips to the beat of the music. This preliminary task was very useful as it refreshed my memory about all the techniques I used for my thriller and allowed me to think of ideas for editing my music video.

Prelim Task - Call Me Maybe

Call Me Maybe - Lip Sync Task

For this task, we had to choose a song and mime the lyrics whilst performing ready to edit together using a new skill we hadn't done before, lip syncing. We uploaded our footage to final cut and edited it to make the lip sync in time with the original song. In order to do this I downloaded the original track and used markers to help make the lip sync more accurate which is something I will definitely be transferring to my music video. It was a challenge at first but after a little bit of practice, I found it a lot easier. I really enjoyed making this video as I learnt a new skill and I now feel more confident about lip synicing my music video.
