After going on a google search for help with lip syncing, we were directed to Wikihow who provided us with several tips to help us to synchronize our scenes with better performance. They suggested the following ideas.
- learning the song will always help, it said that if there are any parts of the song that we did not know, it would be clearly inorganic if they were read or just weren't learnt properly, so would be easier to learn them.
- watch how the artist says the words, this is helpful in situations where the artist has a dissimilar accent to yourself, so we tried could try to adapt to that of the singer in the temper trap. Furthermore we could learn the sounds of the words as opposed to the actual words which would be easier when trying to apply the accent to the words rather than going through the mental process of reading the lyrics, and then trying to remember the accent. For example "example", may actually sound like "ik-sam-pull" depending on who says it.
- Know the entrances, or cues for when to begin lip syncing, this is very important, particularly if there is more than 1 singer in the 1 shot, this would be because it can be editted much easier as it can just be cut down and moved along th timeline so that it is in perfect sync with the song, however if there are 2 or more interchanging the lip syncing in the 1 shot then it is not as easy to just edit. To help avoid this we could play the song as we were lip syncing, to help us with cues, and timing.
-Also it states that it is not necessarily vital that the lip syncing is in perfect timing, so long as it is reasonable, understandable, and so goes along with the tune of the song, as well as the song lyrics, itshould still make for accurate lip syncing.
