Lip Sync Exercise 1 - Editing Practice

An early practice to test out the cuts and merging different videos together

Evaluation
A practice task to show us the difference between a music video and a film/television show. It was to help us establish the difference in editing needed and the camera work/angles one can use.
We were given a number of video clips of people in animal costumes dancing as well as a number of audio clips. Our task was to select an audio clip and cut the video clips (more than one could be used) and try to match it with the audio.
Our task also prohibited the use of effects.

The audio clip i chose was 31 seconds in length and i cut clips from different videos, shortening them, in order to fit them with the audio. I used around 4-5 different video clips which were available to me.

Unfortunately i was not used to cutting video clips from a number of them and trying to match them up with an audio piece, so my main focus was to cut the video clips into smaller pieces, getting a sound for the audio and then matching up the video clips to the audio. Markers proved rather useful in these situations as you can mark the beats in the audio you want to match the video to as well as putting them where you want to cut the video clips.

Although i did experiment with wireframe and with a few effects i did not use any which is a weak point for this video. I spent most of my time on cutting and getting used to matching video with audio and did not give any time to experiment and use effects to improve my video. Although i do think that my time with cutting paid off and i produced a decent video (above) where the video matches the audio well.
