Lip Sync Ideas

Our video is going to be a performance piece instead of narrative. The genre conventions that we will be using are pop and R&B. We will be using a mixture of mid and long shots showing the 'artist' being lazy. We are going to use two or three locations as this is typical of a pop video and for costume the artist is going to wear casual clothing and use chairs, ipod and head phones for props. These are all part of the mise-en-scene. We are going to use montage editing in the opening of our video to show the artist sitting on a chair in many different ways. We will also use cuts and various other editing transitions. We will be using the lyrics in the song to relate to in the video- for example- sitting around being lazy.- 'today I don't feel like doing anything' and also since the music is quite slow and laid back, our video will relate to that. We will use product placement- intertextuality, which is another of the Goodwin's six points, by the singer wearing converse trainers. We aren't really using voyeurism, as it doesn't go with the song. We will sell the artist by close ups of their face, showing their style by their costume etc.
