Personal Achievements

From the A2 prelim, I really want to improve my ability to perform in front of a camera. Being an actor I'm used to over exaggerating my performances and making them much larger than needs be, it is going to be a real challenge for me to make the lens of the camera my main focus and still make my performance believable.

In this music video lip-syncing plays a major part, in order for the video to look believable to any degree I need to work on my lip-synch capabilities as it is something which I do find difficult at times, especially getting my timings correct.

Considering that the next task on the A2 course is to conceptualise and organise a music video of my own, this will be a great experience as it means that I will be able to instruct any actors in the music video in a more constructive and meaningful way.

This task is also a great opportunity for me try and gain a few contacts with people who already have experience in the media industry and possibly be able to use them in any future projects I undertake.

So far, through workshoping, my ability to lip-synch had greatly improved and I now feel that if I were asked to perform a role in which lip-syncing was essential, then I would be able to deliver a performance that doesn't look forced or fake.
