Lip Syncing exercise: Digital Technology

My knowledge of production technology developed greatly throughout this task because before I had little idea of how it would be done, doing this smaller task before the final task has allowed me to develop skills that would be of great use to me for the final task. This task was done within a group although the final task will be done individually, this allows us to pick up skills and learn from others within the group.

In this task I learnt that in order to ensure we have enough footage for editing and to make the video, it is best to film more shots than needed and have longer takes than needed to prevent not having enough footage and then having to go and do more filming. This is often done in production as it is not expensive and doesn't cost any more to film lots of footage.

For the editing we used Adobe Premier Pro, doing this task allowed me to understand how to use the software and be able to use it fully and take advantage of what it can do. When editing we cut the shots to what we needed and put different shots on different layers and moved them about in order for the lip syncing to be accurate.

Later in the course I hope to develop more skills for using the technology and be able to use it even more to my advantage. For example, I would like to pick up more editing techniques from Adobe Pro Premiere that would help me to create a professional, high quality music video for my final task.
