Green Screen Challenge


Evidence


A possible technique I could use in my music video is green screen to project an image onto the screen and have an actor standing in front of it. To practice and familiarise ourselves with the process of removing the green screen so the actor looks like they are standing in front of a visual image, we were given the music video along with the audio of the song "Rolling In The Deep" by Adele. In addition, we also had footage of someone introducing the music video like it was a news piece, and an actor lip synching along to the track. Finally, we had a video of a newsroom that only lasted approximately ten seconds. With all of this footage and material, we had to master how to remove the green screen and integrate it into a music video. We also got to practice skills that we had previously learnt such as matching an actor's lip sync to the lyrics in the track.


On the far left is where all of the footage and audio is stored. In the middle screen is where you can crop the footage to the required length and either remove and use just the audio and the footage. As you can see, the footage on the screen is of the news room. This is where the actor introducing the music video will stand.


After removing the green screen from behind the actor and placing him in front of the footage of the newsroom, this is the final product. The video effect "Eight point garbage matte" is used to resize the image to whatever size or width you want, and allows you to move it around the screen. Another feature in the video effects called "Ultrakey" is the effect which actually removes the green screen, and leaves it looking like the actor is standing in front of the landscape/image behind them. In this instance, the quality isn't great as the green screen was creased, so you can see the outline of it in the final cut. 

If I use green screen as a technique in my music video, I will ensure the green screen is crease free so the end result is sleeker and more professional.
