Lip-syncing Practice

Today, we're going to ALL try our hand at lip-syncing.  We'll each do a segment of a song, edit it together and voila!

This is to give you an idea of just how difficult it's going to be.

(Got to be a ballad of some kind... that we all know!)

How about...?

PRELIM PRACTICE

Our one and only ECS group prelim lip-sync practice.. from 2013!

SURELY we can do better??





And my favourite (very long) prelim so far.  Great use of younger siblings...

Genre Research Project - Launch on Mon 27th June

This is an ongoing project that will last for the whole of rollover.  I want you to work on this throughout the 4/5 weeks we have, and it must be completed BEFORE we break up for summer - Friday 22 July.

1. Decide which genre you’re going to produce a music video for and upload 3 (minimum) music videos within your genre under a ‘research and planning’ label

2. Conduct some research about your artists:

a)  Which record label does the artist/ band belong to? Is it an independent or major label?

b)  What was the name of their last album?

c)  Do you think they are designed to have mass appeal (are they pop) or more elite, underground  fans?

3. Create a montage of images for genre conventions. Upload pics of hand drawn spider diagrams  or prezis for artists in your chosen genre. Comment on how they represent themselves and how this may appeal to their target audience.

Ideas to include: 

o Typically narrative or performance videos?

o Mise-en-scene: iconography, props, costume style, high or low key lighting, locations: urban or rural, set design, colour pallet?

o Cinematography: close up shots or wide shots, special effects

o Message of video, generic types: archetypal gender roles etc.
