This exercise focused on adapting an audio file for lip sync and coming with an improvisation acting. The topic for audio files was “vines” which are very short comedic videos originated from Vine platform back in 2014. These videos are iconic and well known for their context. To give a selected audio file context, I drew a storyboard. The line that I chose was “Fuck off Janet, I’m not coming to your fucking baby shower” which adds up to 4 seconds in total. Initially the one was longer but Christina advised me to keep it short, and that gave me a lot more flexibility when it comes to context and action. But I focused a lot more on the lip sync in this exercise rather than action, and it was a lot better than working on a previous audio file that I filmed with a partner. Because the character didn’t move as much, I could better position the mouth and focus better on the shape. And the audio that was a lot more consistent and good paced helped a lot. This made me realise the importance of audio quality.
