As we decided we wanted some performance in our video, we decided to film the artists silhouette while he was lip singing.
We filmed in the drama studio in our school as there's a lot of studio lights which are perfect for casting shadows on the blank screen. After we set up the lights, tripod and camera, we played around with the composition of the shots and found that the rule of thirds was the best. This is because when we edit our video, there's going to be shots in the background at the same time as the artist singing, so there needs to be some space for the audience to see that.
The person we chose wasn't familiar with the song so we printed out the lyrics sheet and played the song at the same time so he knew exactly how it sounded and knew how to lip sing it perfectly.
We found that it worked really well as you can clearly see what the artist is lip singing (once we put the audio over it, it became even more clear). We found that on final cut pro it also looked really good when we put footage behind it and decreased the opacity so it was faint in the background.
