Lip Dub Project Launch Journal

Sage Blackledge

LULING, LA – The best Lip Dub was the first ever one made, and the third one we watched came closer than the rest. They were good when they were well-planned: the transitions would be smooth (both between classes and between people singing), people knew their lines, and everything within the shot looked good and purposeful. They looked bad when the people were uninvolved or disinterested, and filming-wise it looked bad when the camera shot didn’t seem to flow (AKA when it wasn’t planned/produced well). We should include the excited involvement of all of the classes, including any costumes or themes they want to incorporate, as well as a smooth transition between our AM and PM classes like the video with the poster did. Unlike them, however, we should plan the whole thing much more thoroughly, especially with the transitions between singers. Currently, I am most interested in being part of the pre-production team because I am very good at planning and pulling multiple ideas together. Making this video incorporate everything it needs to and still look good would be a nice challenge for me.
