Drafting & Planning: First lip syncing Footage

I have recorded footage of three of my a supporting actors (Shannen, Kevin & Danielle) lip synching to two chorus' in Too Many Friends.

For each part there is a sad medium close up, a happy medium close up, a sad close up, a happy close up, a sad extreme close up and a happy extreme close up. This is to ensure that I have wide range of shots.

Here is the edited footage of Shannen's close up:


This footage was shot in 720p, which is the best possible quality on my camera. However, in my opinion it is a little too dark. I plan to re-shoot this in the near future in a brighter location.

At some points the lip synching is a little bit out and the actress if not giving direct address. This is acceptable, since the footage will be cut up eventually, meaning that lower quality lip syncing can be replaced by high quality lip syncing by other supporting actors.

Here is the edited footage of Kevins medium close up:


This lipsyncing is slightly out, and the footage is too dark here too, so this will need to be-shot.

Even though the footage was not perfect, it has been beneficial to me as  have now got used to using a tripod which will make the re-shooting process much easier and faster than the initial shooting.
