Recently we have uploaded our draft band footage and tried to fit it onto our searching for the sun in the dark time line. However when doing so we came across numerous problems!
- Lip synchronisation was all wrong
- Lyrics didn't match the lip movements
- Holding the notes
- Trying to create dark background with A1 boards and dimmed lighting, looked bad, and the lighting made the footage's quality decrease.
- Actor was not confident with the song and motions he had to perform in order to look like a lead singer of he band.
However these problems increased my editing skills. As i tried my hardest to match the lyrics to the mouth movements, i used fast cuts to hide the bits where the mouth movements were dubious, also i cut out bits of the mouth holding the note for too long, or copied and pasted a mouth movement if the actor hadn't held the note for long enough.
After this experience, we have set out numerous and vital checks and preparation for us to avoid when doing the real/official band filming.
- Get actor to listen to the song many times before actually needs to mine/sing it
- Count timing and how long to hold certain lyrics
- Practice the mouth shapes that need to be form in order to suggest exact pronouceation of lyrics
- Find a better suited backdrop
