Research for Music Video: Lip Sync Tutorial

Finishing marking all the different shots, we then copied the clips a couple times so that we could after cut between them for it to look like a actual music video, deleting blocks at a time in any order we wanted.

This is what my final piece looked like on my first attempt:
