Lip Synchronizing By David Manning

Lip sync is a technical term for matching lip movements with voice and can refer to any of a number of different techniques and processes.
Music tracks are recorded separately during the creation of a music video, artists usually lip-sync to their songs and often imitate playing musical instruments as well. Artists also sometimes move their lips at a faster speed from the track, to create videos with a slow-motion effect in the final clip, which is widely considered to be complex to achieve. Similarly, some artists have been known to lip-sync backwards for music videos such that, when reversed, the singer is seen to sing forwards while time appears to move backwards for his or her surroundings.

The video has helped us learn the the pros and cons from playing the song through speakers and the actor lip synchronising.

• It was clear that are actor didn't know the words to the song which was a massive floor as it was then clear he wasn't singing. So it clear that the actor needs to know the lyrics.
• The actor did look like he was male to sing this song though, because if we had him trying to sing a heavy rock song he wouldn't fit the role.
• The actor was also cringed singing and spent a lot of time laughing, smiling or going red in the face from the cringe. So the actor cant get cringed because we will loss all emotions and feelings that we are trying to create.

We have decided through this exercise that we are going have the song played through speakers so the actor can lip synchronise to it. Then when it comes to editing we can aline the music video to the appropriate lyrical area then delete the clips sound and have the original song played.
