The most popular artists of this genre are Chipmunk, Tinchy Stryder and Dj Ironic. the reason why I think they are so popular is because they relate with young people as they are young theme selves. Another reason why is because most of there songs are quite cheesy and are easy to understand and are very catchy.

Key Conventions:
Girls, Cheesy, Cars, Money, Love intrest

Evaluation

I done two Lipsynching one was Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and the other was Common People by Pulp. While editing the videos we came across some problems but overall being the first attempt I think I done well.

There were many things that went well with the videos that were produced. A couple of things that went well with the Bohemian Rhapsody video was that people looked confident in front of the camera, this helped when it came to editing. The reason why it helped is because it made it easier to lipsync, because if they were not confident their pronunciation would not be clear. In the Common people video we learn't from our mistakes and just got one shoot so in the editing process it would be easier to sync.

In both videos there were parts that we could have improved. For the bohemian rhapsody video there was a bit of overlapping were gallio is said,this made it harder to edit but did not change the outcome of the video. Another thing was we didn't get enough shoots in both task.


In the future I would advise myself in effective lipsyncing is get as much shoots as you possibly can. This will help because in some shoots you might not be able to see the pronunciation of your mouth but the more shoots you get the more choice you have. Another thing I would advice myself is memorise the lyrics and the beat of the song perfectly so you no every in and out about it.
