Research for Music Video: Lip Syncing Tutorial

I used the software Final Cut Pro to edit a music video and match the song with the video (lip syncing).


This has prepared me for the editing part once we get our footage.

The lip syncing tutorial was useful because I was able to understand how music videos are created and how it can be easy to snap all the shots together so it looks fluent and perfect. I realised it wasn't that difficult because FinalCutPro has a snap in to place option, making it easier for me to put all the clips together using a marker (m) on the keyboard.

In Vernallis' observation, she realised there were usual rules of 'continuity' which is what I aimed to achieve in the lip syncing tutorial. We realised jump cuts were used a lot and the base track was the most important part of the whole thing.

When making a music video, in terms of the performer looking like they are actually singing, you must:


  • Use your body language properly to match the song/settings
  • Sing so the lip syncing doesn't look fake
  • For every shot, sing the whole song each time so editing is easier
  • Put your all in because it needs to look realistic
