Editing and lip syncing

Editing was a fun, interesting and at times frustrating challenge. Not only through technical difficulties but due to blatant human error on my part for being far too precise about certain elements and (possibly) wasting more time than I should've spent on the task in hand.
I feel that the most difficult part of editing is getting the lip syncing to a perfect match with the lyrics of the song, granted in a room full of media students trying to achieve the same thing (and some without headphones) this could get very trying at times. Yet as you can see from the final product we have managed to not only get the lip syncing on time yet actions to the beat (thought beat editing - Andrew Goodwin), I do have to give the majority of the credit for this to Becky as she has far more patience than I do, as I almost got so close on many occasions yet in the end she was the one who finally got it right, down to the second.
I admit the editing is key, but to start with if our lead singer (Joe) hadn't known the lyrics or the timing - which I have to admit he is terrible at keeping time from experience of hearing him attempt to sing - it would've made the editing even more difficult. I think we were able to keep Joe in time throughout the filming through playing the song from my phone and singing along with him to ensure that he followed the lyrics correctly and word perfectly without trying to get away with a slur and undefined mouth movement.
