We reviewed our video with our teacher and we all agreed that our actor, Mason, wasn't comfortable at all with the lip syncing. We arranged with one of my friend's to lip sync the song. He was amazing at acting and we thought this would show his confidence. He wasn't massively familiar with the song or it's lyrics but after a few times of us playing each section of it, he got familiar with the lyrics, how the words were said, etc.
Initially, only 1 of the lights was working so we filmed some with just one light on then we managed to turn the other light on. We put the black ground down and this created a scene as if he was on stage, which was exactly what we wanted. He was struggling with some of the lip syncing but we broke up each sentence and filmed in snippets. This made it easier for him to properly lip syncing and remember the lyrics and it also allowed me to film him in a variety of shots, giving it variety and making sure it doesn't get tedious.
His lip syncing is amazing in all of the shots and we will be using most of them. We may need to re-film some stuff due to the lighting, the angles used or his lip syncing.
