EFFORT - IN

Want Went Well and Even Better Ifs

W.W.W

I think in the planning section me and Jordan did well to get the lyrics and location matching and worked well with the dance choreographer to get them prompt on the lyrics.

On the day me and Jordan was equipped with a stereo and had the CD there with the song on.

we also cued the music well and was always prepared at the right point.

My roles and responibiltys on the day, and what i learned

My responsibility for the task was sound, I was working alongside Jordan F. when I was doing sound I had to watch the in the sun clip several times, first of all we printed out a copy or the lyrics and got a storyboard also printed out. We had to match the lyrics with the location on screen and also with the dance moves of the lead singer in the music video. So we had to work with the dance choreographer to make sure they also knew what they would be doing at certain parts of the song. We struggled at first to match the screen shots with the lyrics but we managed to work it out correctly. We had to contact Mr.Winters by email to ask him to burn the song from the computer on to a CD so on the day we can put it in a stereo and play it. On the day we had to be aware of how well the lip syncing was being done a prompt the lead singer to keep in time and remember even when doing the dance moves she had to lip sing along. We had to make sure we was at the right point on the song and make sure we cued in correctly because otherwise we would have wasted time playing it from the wrong part. I learned a few things when doing this task and I learned I had a big part to play in video and that everything was going right. I think the hardest thing was making sure the lyrics match the location they was in because some lyrics was started in one location and continue as a shot cuts and changes. On the day I think everything went well and there were no complaints about mine and Jordan’s work everyone seemed impressed on how quick we cued the music. Also on the day we had to take turns in camera work i helped out with one of the tracking shots as you can see in one of the images below.
