Lip Syncing Issue

Despite making another version of my song I still have an issue with my characters lip syncing. I have replaced the majority of the clips which have this problem with some footage of the character playing and singing inside. This was because inside it was far easier for the character to listen to the song and sing along with it. Because of the short amount of time I have to film more footage I have resorted to critically refine the footage I have to make it fit in the best I can.

Music video V2

After some debate I have decided to create another version of my music video which does not have any scenes of the girl in it. It is also significantly shorter as feedback suggested that the previous version was too long. The narrative has remained exactly the same however I have broadend my use of match on action as well as some other visual effects.

Filming cont

I have returned to filming my character playing the guitar. Instead of filming outside I have decided to film him inside. The main purpose of this was to simply film guitar and singing actions that would film in the gaps I had in my original filming. I originally had difficulty trying to sync the singing with the music. Now however I believe that this footage will create a more synced version of the singing.

Filming cont.

I have filmed someone from inside school to play the role of the girlfriend in the music video. Finding a room that would set the scene of her bedroom was difficult so I decided that instead of staring out of her bedroom window, she would be playing that piano whilst regretting what she has done.

Putting these shots into my music video has proved challenging as I feel that it does not mix well with the narrative of the music video. Sometimes when she comes up on screen I feel that it is quite irrelevant and the audience will have trouble relating it to the narrative of the video. Therefore I have used little of her in the video and have placed her around the time where the character is staring at her name on the wall. I still plan to do more filming of my main character and Ill see if this helps relate her to the narrative.
