Don't Go Breaking My Heart Exercise and Evaluation



How have you filmed the sequence?
The sequence was filmed numerous times using alternate shots and angles including both low and high angle shots, extreme close ups, wide shots, medium shots. We also used a dolly while filming to make it much easier to move the camera while filming.

How did you edit the sequence?
The sequence matched the music, I first muted all the filmed clips and inputted the music so the lip syncing would always be the same. I tried to ensure that no shot was on the screen for more than 5 seconds to make it the video interesting and engage the viewer.

Did I make any mistakes?
The floor that the dolly was used on was not smooth, which made it hard for it to be used efficiently. Also, the lyrics to the song were not correctly sang which made it quite to match the lip synching.

What you have learned about filming a performance that you can apply to your final production?
I've learnt that in order for the lip synching to be perfect,  all the people performing the song must all learn and know the lyrics before the filming the sequence. Also when filming, it is better to use close ups instead of medium and wide shots so you can really engage the viewer. In terms of editing, alternating between angles working with the beat of the song is key capturing the audience's attention.
