Micheal Jackson - Evaluation

This was the second lip syncing task and we had a chance to choose our own song as a group. Our difficulties were finding a song that everyone knew and liked but at the end we decided to do Micheal Jackson - They don't really care at about us.

One of the weaknesses I had was that I kept laughing when filming my part as you when can see when you watch the final piece. I think this was because I felt nervous with the camera focused on me.

I think the group worked well together getting the end product done on time. I think that from the group I was in, Nishad stood out because he was very confident when filming and also his lip syncing was done very well.

Overall I think that the end piece looked okay but it was very short and next time I will get in a group were I feel less nervous to film in front of.

Bohemian Rhapsody Evalution

This was our first lip syncing task and everyone in the group was very enthusiastic an eager to start. Before filming we did practices an it went really well but when the camera was turned on everyone in the group were very shy to do there parts and therefore this wasted time during the 1 hour Miss gave us to do the filming. Because we had to lip sync we needed to do close-ups to see the actual lip movement so it looked as if we were singing but in some shots we weren't able to see the lip movement therefore it didn't look very realistic for a music video. Another difficulty we had was that no one in the group knew the song that miss gave us therefore it was really hard to lip sync or sing the song because we hadn't had time to memorise the words.

The things that went well in the task was that the group we were in everyone worked well together and encouraged one another to be more confident. Also the location we filmed in looked good and was perfect for the song we were donig. Another thing that went well was that everyone took part so no-one was left out .

Overall I think that this task went quite well but next time I will try not to be as insecure and just try my best to not think about whos looking and not be very self concious. I will try to be less shy and just get on with the task in hand.
