Lip Syncing
In this blog I'm going to be writing about the importance of lip syncing, how it effects and changes music videos and how to achieve this in your music video.
I will also give a definition of that lip syncing is.
Lip- Syncing in music is: "moving the lips in synchronisation with a (pre-) recorded speech or song"

In order to give a music video a "live" feel the video needs to be well lip-synced, if this is not the case the whole video will be affected. Its very important to have the lip syncing perfect so it shows the audience that the performance is the person who is lip syncing and makes the video look more believable, it also shows that you have put the effort into the music video therefore making the viewer like the video more.
Lip syncing is achieved by having the performer mouth (or even sing) the exact words to the song and to the right beet, rhythm and speed that the song is sung. Once this has been achieved you can then layer the song on top lining it up to each part of the song.
In my music video it was key that my lip syncing was perfect, to do this I firstly had my actor sit in the same place- I put the camera on the tripod and let her sing the whole song, once I had done this it meant that I had words for the whole song. I then wrote down what she was going to be doing through each of the sections of the song, by doing this I knew the exact moments that this is taken place. When it came to her singing the words I needed it to be inexact time with the music so I played the song in the background so she knew when to breath and when to sing- so that it was perfectly in time. To make sure that it was perfect I shot each take 3 times, although this was a long process it meant that I could be sure that the timings matched up with the song so that the lip syncing could be at its best.
I believe the difference between a good and bad video is the lip syncing, although in some videos the story line of the video doesn't show the artist singing I believe that the video needs to be in sync with the song. If however the music video does show the artist sing the lip syncing should be perfect to show a professional and clear cut music video.
