The document provides instructions for a music video project requiring students to demonstrate advanced Final Cut skills like green screening, split screens, key frames, color manipulations and effects, editing to the beat of music, and varied transitions. Students must work in groups to lip sync the song "Why Does Love Do This To Me" by The Exponents, accurately mouthing the lyrics while recording audio of the song playing to later replace the sound. Groups must plan costumes, locations, and actions before recording and editing their footage into a music video.

5. Accurate Lip Synching

timing
