1) The document evaluates a lip sync project for a music video using 5 base tracks with different shot types including close ups to avoid boredom and show variety. 2) The lip sync video amplifies the song's meaning by depicting a relationship rather than just suggesting happiness, and does not follow a narrative structure like Goodwin's theory. 3) Editing was done in time with the song's beat using base tracks, repeated artist shots, eye contact, and camera movement as per Vernallis' theory.

1. Evaluation of Lip Sync Project
First attempt trying to Lip Sync a Music Video

2.  Base tracks are when the whole song is recorded and played in one shot, and
many of these need to be done for a song so that it can be used as a
repetitive shot. Music videos use this for familiarity and for performer
shots of the artist. We tried to use a variety of shots in our lip sync
project, especially close ups as these are used a lot in music videos, which
made the project slightly easier as we could see clearly, as well as
hearing, when the performer started singing. We used approximately five
base tracks. This was so we could get a mixture of different shot types and
locations, such as, close ups as well as over the shoulder shots. We chose
to do this so that the music video didn’t become boring and so we could
show variety.

3.  Andrew Goodwin’s theory is followed partly in the music video. The lip sync
video would be an example of Amplification. The music video does not
contradict the lyrics but it adds meaning – of a boy and a girl that are
happily in a relationship, but the song simply suggests two people that are
happy and can depend on each other. Also, like Goodwin identifies, the
music video doesn’t have a narrative and doesn’t follow a story based
structure, and it doesn’t have an ending as it is repetitive then fades out.
 Vernallis’ theory is followed as we edited in time with the beat of the song,
we used base tracks, repeated shots of the artists, the artists made eye
contact with the camera and the camera was moving in t.me with the
music,

4.  In the lip sync task, firstly me we but the master track in to final cut pro, and
then we added out base tracks. We done this by marking where the first
word was in the master track. When we added a base track, we would
mark when the artists began to say their first word, then added a marker
there too, and aligned this with the marker on the master track. This was
repeated for all base tracks. Then we added markers throughout the clips,
in time with the beat of the song and then cut of some of the clips so the
video was edited in time with the beat of the song.
 Markers were helpful is the project, but placing the markers in the right place
may have been the hardest part. This is because they need to be place
precisely in the correct place so the lip syncing in done properly.
