Grade 5 (Q1/L1/2016/2017) : Lip Sync

Objective: 

To work individually to produce a polished performance featuring an approved song & “concept” that students will create and to which they will lip sync. You are going to create a music video. The music must be recorded on the computer and the video and the audio must line up.

Guidelines

1. Select a song/recording no longer than four minutes to be approved by Ms. Carrie A.
2. Please polish your presentation and place your primary emphasis on the act of performance.  Work to fully utilize the staging area and to establish a meaningful connection with your audience.  You should NOT simply stand in one place and slowly move your lips.  A secondary concern should be placed on costuming and the use of props—all at your discretion.
3. Your song “concept” must use your song to tell a story that has a beginning, middle, and end.
   
4. Each video is to be performed by only ONE performer.  No Exceptions!
5. As always, presentations must be in good taste and appropriate for our school community.  If you have any questions about the content of your song choice, please be sure to discuss these concerns with me before choosing your music!
6. You must provide me with a copy of the song lyrics in advance.  The timeline is listed below.

Timeline

1.     All Lip Syncs will be submitted by or before Friday, September 9, 2016.  At the beginning of the first class, each student will draw a number and this will determine the order of the music videos.  A volunteer to go first will be honored.

2.     The song title with a copy of the lyrics (typed) from all students is due to me on Friday, September 9, 2016.

3.     It is imperative that you understand the music videos will only be showcased on the above date(s).

Concept video

The video must portray and tell the story of the song. You will match your characters and theme of the video to the lyrics of the song. Recruit family, friends, classmates, etc. , to act as subject of the video.

Performance Video

First of all, you’ll need to play the song while you are filming so that your singers and performers can be as accurate as possible. (This type of video takes much rehearsal for performance polish.) You will choose costuming and locations which will fit the message you are trying to communicate through your video. It is wise to have your performers lip sync the song several times and film the video from different angles, in different lighting, and then add special effects. This way you will have enough footage to work with in the editing process.
