Lip-sync research

From our research, Lip-syncing is an extremely difficult task to complete. The artist who is lip- syncing will have to rehearse repeatedly, this is due having to know all the lyrics of the song. Therefore, our music video will look professional and realistic. When lip-syncing we'll have to play the music in the background. Therefore, the band member will be able to mouth each lyric. Lip-syncing is useful and creative as it allows the artist to perform the narrative in the music video without making it look unprofessional.  Since the band member isn't singing they are able to act out different situations for the music video rather than just singing down a microphone.

After analysing Oasis' music video 'Wonderwall' I noticed the Liam Gallagher used lip-syncing throughout the video. I thought that this worked well as the music video used a mixture of performance and narrative shots. Lip-syncing is a possible option when creating our own music video. Since we have chosen a pre-exsisting song it has enabled us to focus more on creating the narrative of the music video. Therefore, we won't be copying the narrative of the music video. If we did copy the narrative of the music video, we could be accused of copyright. From our research our two main leading singers Liam and Noel Gallagher are featuring in many of the narratives of her own music videos which is something we want to recreate in ours. Therefore, this will help our music video look professional and relative to real life situations. Including lip-syncing would mean that the two leading singers will be able to act out in the music video and will be able to perform the narrative.
