This is our lip synch video to Lily Allen - Smile.
The song we chose to use is Lily Allen - Smile. This is because it's a song we are all familiar with and like. We didn't find it difficult lip synching to this song as Gemma was familiar with the lyrics and the beat , and played along to the feel of the song well.
We chose to use mainly close and mid shots to portray the facial expressions and body language effectively, which is typical of other music videos. The camera angles we used were mainly straight on, in order to be able to clearly see face and body language. The shot on the stairs is slightly at an angle facing upwards.
We shot part of the video outside on benches by some trees, and the weather was warm and sunny, which created a summery look, and relates to the feel of the song. The sequence involved a slow-motion shot of a male passing by, and Gemma laughing with friends, which looked effective and again related to the song.
Next time, i would add more acting to the video to give it a proper storyline and use more varied shots.
