Parody always makes us fun. When someone follows famous people, they try to find unique traits first. And they maximize that trait as much as they can. That's because it is easy to follow when we use famous person's unique things and people who see it laugh more if it is similar to that person.
Lip sync is one of the kinds of parody. According to Wikipedia, lip sync is a technical term for matching lip movements with sung or spoken vocals. This word was originally for the singers who sing their song only by their lip. But it is used for comedy more now. That's because people laugh very much when they watch people who follows others by expression. Also we people surprised when we notice that we can imitate others only by face, not the voice.
There are two lip sync videos which I like the most.
First one is a part of Sangsin Elementary School Art Festival. In the festival, two students lip sync the song, La Traviata. They sing a song only by their lips and faces, but it seems that they really sing the song. This is because they express the emotion very well. Also, they can change the singer. I was very surprised about it that one person can describe many people. Another thing that I was surprised by this video is that both students are boys. I think this video can be popular because it is very interesting and surprising.
Second one is the lip sync of the song, Cinderella. It is originally Seo In Yeong's song, but Jang Jae In and Kim Ji Su sang this song again in Superstar K 2. They arranged it differently. And this video is lip sync of cinderella which Jang Jae In and Kim Ji Su sang. Because they have their own unique voice and features, it is easy to imitate it.
The singers of this video is called, IUV. It means IU+UV. IU is a popular girl singer who sang "Good day" UV is very funny group who sang "Itaewon Freedom" So they are girls who are very funny. Their names are Lee Seung Ha and Kim Ju Yeon. They take out the two badminton sticks in the guitar case. And they play them like real guitars. And then they sing by their faces.
This is the real video of the song Cinderella.
Although the first one is a lip sync, it seems like real. Because they imitated the expression very well. Also they used some similar tools like badminton sticks and they also disguise like real singers. After they became famous by the program, "Korean Got Talented", they could have their own songs.
And there is a movie about lip sync. It is 200 pounds beauty. It is about a woman who sings very well but fat. So her appearance is not good. So she does lip sync for another singer whose appearance is good but cannot sing well. And one day, she started to thinking about being a real singer. She thought that it is unfair she couldn't be popular although she sang a song. So she decided to do a plastic surgery to become pretty. Then after plastic surgery, she became very very pretty that nobody could recognize her. So she started a new life, a name of Jenny. She became very popular and everyone like her. It is very interesting and touching movie about lip sync. It shows lip sync may not be always interesting thing. And this video shows the contents of movies and the background music is the ost of themovie which the main character lip sync.
This is hilarious! If you can find some background information on it, it can make an interesting essay. But you will have to dig deep. Good post.
답글삭제Actually, I think you are on the right track with some of the points above. All we are looking for is 5 interesting paragraphs about the video - or at least related. Lip syncing is interesting, so you can spend some time talking about that. And parody as well. If you branch off on wikipedia and look those two things up, you can compensate for stuff you may not be able to find about this particular video.
