WHAT WE LEARNT
"Lip Syncing": to synchronize lip movements with recorded sound (vocal), as an actor/singer.
This task helped us to practice lip-syncing, as we attempted to produce the most realistic looking vocal performance in front of a camera, while the song plays, and sync it up with the song in editing software (Adobe Premier). This was important to experience so that we can now think about which person would suit certain vocal sounds, and know how to perfectly sync up video clips to the Timecode.
TimeCode: "In video production and filmmaking, SMPTE timecode is used extensively for synchronisation, and for logging and identifying material in recorded media. During filmmaking or video production/shoot, the camera assistant will typically log the start and end timecodes of shots, and the data generated will be sent on to the editorial department for use in referencing those shots. This shot-logging process was traditionally done by hand using pen and paper, but is now typically done using shot-logging software running on a laptop computer that is connected to the time code generator or the camera itself.
"The SMPTE family of timecodes are almost universally used in film, video and audio production."

Floor Manager: A floor manager is the person assigned to make sure that sets, props and technical equipment are safe, ready to use and in the right position prior to filming. They have a liaising and coordinating role, acting as the link between the director and the many people involved in a production on the studio floor. It is the floor manager's responsibility to pass on cues to presenters and guests to ensure timings are met and the broadcast goes smoothly. They make sure that events go according to a set plan and that people taking part know their particular roles and how it fits in with whatever else is happening.
