Lip sync practice

This is our lip synch practice. We used the song 'Holiday' by Green Day as it has a similar beat and tempo to our chosen song. Green Day is also a punk rock band which correlates with our chosen genre for our music video.
We did this lip synch practice to hone our skills in filming, editing and synching a song to the actors in the video in preparation for making our own video. It also allowed us to test the different kinds of filters on the editing software. 
This test allowed us to experiment with different types of shots, for instance close-ups, mid range and tracking shots, all of which we will utilise in our video. We also experimented with camera angles, for example high angles and low angles. The high angle was used to hover over the actors whilst they were laying on the floor and the low angle was used to emphasise the lead actor jumping on the wooden log.
We were also able to use the generic codes and conventions for the costumes used throughout the video, for instance the black suit and tie worn by the lead is a generic convention in punk rock videos.
