Evaluation Of Skills Learnt - Busted Lip Sync Video

In class we formed groups in which we had to produce our own Busted 'What I Go To School For' lip sync video. Before creating this video, all individuals in our group were able to set up the tripod and were also fully familiar with all controls on the camera. For our video we made one continuous shot and used a tripod in order to keep the camera in the correct position for the shot we were trying to achieve. After this, we used a firewire to upload the video from the camera onto the school's Mac's. Again, from previous experience with the school's equipment, we were already familiar with this process. We then edited this shot with suitable starting and ending times and then laid the MP3 file over the top of the video and muted all sounds from the video itself. This part of the process we did not know how to do and we did require assistance. After this, we had to compact the file into one that was compatible with Youtube and then upload them. Unfortunately, the computer at school was unable to process my video, so we were asked to take the video's home to upload ourselves.
During this process, I learned to mute all sounds from the video and how to place music over the top of the video with good accuracy and timing. This skill will hopefully prove to be very useful for my A2 coursework, as we have to produce a music video. Also, now being able to convert and compact files into more compatible files will be a very helpful thing to do during my production of the coursework.
