ELTON JOHN MUSIC VIDEO

In this task we were asked to lip sync to Elton John Don't Got Breaking My Heart, there were a lot of requirements that we had to do, especially when it came videoing and editing.  For example when it came to us editing we had to make sure that the video was in time with the music. This was very difficult, but there were a number of things that went well. However there are some things that can be improved.

What went well?

• I thought that when it came to video the songs, it went very well, because we had made sure that we had taken a lot of different angle shots, so that when it came to editing we could use these to make our video more entertaining.
• I also thought that when it came to remembering the lyrics, we had picked it up quite well, as we only use it for the first two shots we took. After that we were able to remember the lyrics, which had made it more easier or us because it means that when we are recording we don't have to have our sheets in our hand, or keep stopping to refer back to the lyrics.  
• When it came to videoing I think the way that we acknowledge the fact that we had to put in emotion behind the lyrics in order for the music video to seem realistic, was really good, because it makes the music video more believable. The also had to make sure that they sang the lyrics out allowed, even though it may be embarrassing, it makes life so much easier when it comes to editing, cause its easier to match the lip sync to the audio. 
• The editing that I did was also good, because all the video matched the audio, meaning it looked like a proper music video, also when we were cutting I had made sure that we used special effects, just to make it look fancy.   

How could it be improved?

• I thought that the number of different shots that we had filmed were very good, however we didn't include this in our final music video. So I feel that if we were to improve anything I feel that it would be the fact that we need to different camera shots. For example we can use close ups, we could have also used a dolly which would help us to get a more better footage of the background singers. 
• There were also some points where Abi would look at the board, this wasn't good because it sort of shows that there was something there, which i s bad. Next time we film, we have to make sure that there is no distractions.
