Lip Syncing-Yonkers

I believe that there was a certain bit of the lip syncing that went very well. This was at the beginning of the video till about half way. This was because Kelechi had learnt this bit very well and new it off by heart.

For the bits that didn't go well was when Kelechi tried to pronounce "Rapping as I'm mocking deaf rock stars" This is because the song was very fast paced at that point which meant the words were very hard to pronounce. Tyler the creator is also American which means Kelechi had to pronounce the words slightly differently to make sure that the lip syncing was spot on.

Lip Syncing - Yonkers

Here is the lip syncing Kelechi did for our possible song choice. I did 3 different styles of editing to represent the song. I believe the lip syncing went well in the video, however a few parts towards the end were slightly off or hard to see. I have learnt that with lip syncing you have to be quite 'aggressive' when doing it to make it look like you're actually rapping / singing the song. From this experience I have found out that lip syncing can be fairly difficult and can take a few times to get it spot on, and you have to stay focused in order to make sure that the whole performance is smooth

Different Representations

The different sequences represent the various music video genres which we may think about doing.

The first scene is meant to represent a dark rap genre, very much like what we want to do for our actual music video. The camera goes in and out of focus while the character is in shallow focus the entire time. This is perfect for representing the emotions of the character to fit in with the genre. The other ideas consist of performance, spectacle and image,

The second one is meant to show image. He is walking slowly and the camera pans around him and his torso is in view the entire time. This represents him image, the way he is walking and the clothes he is wearing.

The third is meant to be a mix of image and spectacle, with both genres combining to represent the genre of rap. This is done by the way the artist is presenting himself as well as the effects on screen.

The final scene shows performance. In this scene it is only meant to show the music which is being played without any presentation of image. The mise-en-scene shows the piano and nothing else is really visible other than me playing it.
