Drafting and planning- Lip syncing or Abstract

Lip syncing- ''Lip sync, lip-sync, lip-synch (short for lip synchronization) is a technical term for matching lip movements with sung or spoken vocals. The term can refer to any of a number of different techniques and processes, in the context of live performances and recordings.''
Lip syncing may be used in my music video as the person playing an artist would move their mouth at the same time as the words are played so it gives the illusion that they are singing it. 

Abstract- This is where there is no lip syncing and the music video is based on a story line or just a feature of moving images.

Drafting and planning- Choosing my A2 project

Film: 
I had a go at making my own trailer. I really enjoyed the process of storyboard and making the trailer. 
Deciding what to do and what words to say was very difficult. It was also very hard to organise people and to decide where the camera goes.
After looking at past students trailers I can see how hard they are to create and I can also see some of the amazing ideas and how creative I could get if I choose this project. 

Music:
To decide weather I should create a music video I looked at other students work in my class room that were a A/B grade. As I watched the Music videos I saw what had to go into them and how people created them. I saw how imaginative you could be and all the different ideas that were available. 
I then looked at some on you tube that could give me an idea of what id like to do.

After looking online I have found that looking at music videos excites me and I think I would like to do a music video for my project. 
Looking at music videos was a lot more interesting than looking at film trailers. I think that if I do something that I will enjoy I will put a lot more into it. 

Drafting and planning- Preliminary task



I created a trailer as part of an preliminary task and it was also part of getting used to a camera. This task helped me get a feel of the camera, think about the 180 degree rule, shot reverse shot and stedi cam. 
It also helped me to see what it would be like if I did my own trailer. However it did not just help for making a trailer but if I did a music video as I would still have to use a camera. 
It also helped me work as a team and if I made a music video or a trailer I would have to work with people to create it and make sure they were comfortable with what I wanted to do. 

Creating an advanced portfolio

I am creating an advanced portfolio. I will blog the process i go through to create a music video or a trailer for a film. I am not to sure what i should choose.
To make my decision i will look at students past work and have a look at what i will need to include in the the different tasks. By looking at other students trailers and music videos that are grade A/B and this will help give me an insight into what is expected. 
I will use my blog to track and record information about the task i will choose. It will include research and planning, drafting and preliminary tasks.
