Lip Sync Task - Oasis (Wonderwall)

For my preliminary task, I was asked to produce a lip sync to a song associated with my genre of alternative rock. I chose 'Wonderwall' by Oasis for three reasons; The song/band are alternative rock and therefore fit in with my genre, Oasis are one of my favorite bands and I thoroughly enjoy the song and finally, the person lip syncing the song for me knows the song and the band very well and was therefore able to recreate the lip sync to a high standard including appropriate mise en scene and attitude.

The task was filmed in and around my home as I knew there were certain locations at home that would fit in with the theme of the lip sync easily. I filmed the entire song four times, allowing me to adjust camera angles and locations. Timing was crucial for this task, as it needed to be completed quickly so I could move on to further aspects of my blog, in order to finish my portfolio in time. Due to this issue, I had to edit the footage at home using a basic program, windows live movie maker. The program in itself was very limited and I found it quite hard to edit the footage to a high standard. One issue I encountered was trying to match the lip sync up to the song. I managed, finally, to get it all up to speed, apart from the clip where the lip sync starts "Back beat, the word is on the street". This was because of little timing between the lyrics and trying to line up the drum beats, which was very hard to do on such a limited program.

The footage was filmed originally in colour however, I decided to change the clips to black and white to resemble the original video for 'Wonderwall' and it's overall black and white theme.
