More Drop It Like Its Hot...
Today we filmed more of our Lip Sync task- We filmed the close ups of Pharell (Me) and the shots with both Snoop Dogg (Priya) and Pharell (Me)- this was done quickly and easily as Shona acted as director and helped us with what to do.

Starting To Film The LipSync Video
We have now started to film our Lip Sync task, however we have found some problems and are trying to overcome them. These include:
- The green screen is not large/wide enough for the wide shots (whole body)
- We are still learning how to use Final Cut Express, and are struggling with the new software.
We have tried to extend the green screen by pinning it to the notice boards and we are working on the editing slowly, learning as we go.
We have filmed the close ups of Priya (Snoop Dogg) and the close ups of the glass with the ice cubes however still need to do the rest as the green screen took rather a long time to get up!
Here is Shona who is helping with the Green Screen

Prop list for Lip Sync task
For our production of 'Drop It Like It's Hot' we will need:
- SnapBack x2
- Ice cubes/Water
- Eyeliner Pencil
- Glass
- Blurred pixels print out
- Green Screen + Lights
- Ice Cube Tray - Priya (On Fri)
- Baggy T-shirt (B&W)
Our Inspiration...
We got our inspiration for our Lip Sync task from the music video 'Bound 3' ( A parody of Kanye West's Bound 2)- as they showed the two videos side by side- recreating the real video shot for shot! This was created by Seth Rogan and James Franco. You can really see the amount of attention they paid to each shot as they all match exactly...hopefully our prelim task will be of this standard!! :)
Lip Sync Task Storyboard
Here is the storyboard from 'Drop It Like It's Hot' by Snoop Dogg ft. Pharell. We have also written the timings of each shot so that ours can match exactly. We will be using the green screen in order to create the white background as well as using a black and white effect to that we can match the video.
Here are the lyrics of the section we are creating:
Here are the lyrics of the section we are creating:
When the pimp's in the crib ma
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
When the pigs try to get at ya
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
And if a nigga get a attitude
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot
I've got the Rolly on my arm
And I'm pouring Chandon
And I roll the best weed
'Cause I got it going on
I'm a nice dude with some nice dreams
See these ice cubes, see these Ice Creams?
Eligible bachelor, million dollar boat
That's whiter than what's spilling down your throat

In todays lesson we decided on a song for our LipSync task. We had 3 options which were:
#SELFIE- The Chainsmokers
Money On My Mind- Sam Smith
Drop It Like It's Hot- Snoop Dogg Ft. Pharell
Eventually we chose the last song (Drop It Like It's Hot) because there were lots of different shots (Close Ups, Mid shots, Long Shots). As well as meaning that we could practise our use of Green Screen.
