Wikipedia - Lip sync, lip-sync, lip-synch or lip-sing is a technical term for matching lip movements with voice and can refer to any of a number of different techniques and processes.
Because the film track and music track are recorded separately during the creation of a music video , artists usually lip-sync to their songs and often imitate playing musical instruments as well. Artists also sometimes move their lips at a faster speed from the track, to create videos with a slow-motion effect in the final clip, which is widely considered to be complex to achieve.
A lip dub is a type of video that combines lip syncing and audio dubbing to make a music video. It is made by filming individuals or a group of people lip synching while listening to a song or any recorded audio then dubbing over it in post editing with the original audio of the song. There is often some form of mobile audio device used such as an mp3 players. Often they look like simple music videos, although many involve a lot of preparation and production. Lip dubs can be done in a single unedited shot that often travels through different rooms and situations within a building. They have become popular with the advent of mass participatory video content sites like YouTube.
Tom Johnson, a technical writer who blogs about Web 2.0's effect on communication, describes a good lip dub as having the characteristics, or at least the appearance, of spontaneity, authenticity, group participation and fun.
For my piece I am going to need to use the technique of lip dubbing as this is a population convention that is seen in pop music videos. With this help I have decided that I will need to acquire something to play the song off so that Cesca will be able to mime the words in time, so that when I put it together in editing the timings are correct.
