Research: Base-tracks and Markers

Remake of Music Video in AS

Last year, for three weeks we were told to recreate a music video and the group I was in remade the song "Hey Ya" by "Outkast". In these three weeks we told about the use of base-tracks and markers. Base-tracks are scenes/shots which are filmed in one go whilst the artists sings and markers are where a point in the song is marked so you can align with the footage from the base-track by using the sound. The significance in base-tracks and markers is they make editing a lot quicker as you can align all your footage together as they are played to the same beat at the same time.
