Test shot using green screen.

I am going to do some test shots either today (4th December) or tomorrow (5th December). The reason for me being undecided about the timings of filming is because today Chloe has booked to use the green screen. I am hoping that she will be done in time for me to quickly do some test shots, but if not I have also booked the room tomorrow, first period. Because me and Chloe both don't have a lesson, I may have to use this time to do my test shots if I am unable to film them today. I have also booked the room for dinner time tomorrow so that I can do the filming for my actual video. This is because this is when my artist and two actresses are available for filming and there is one shot near the beginning of the video that I need them all to be in.

For one of my shots, I plan on using the green screen to place the artist and the two female actresses I have into a particular scene, rather than having to shoot it outside. I am going to ask Ben (the technician that we have here at the college) about how to use the the green screen and what to do when editing these parts of the video as I haven't used the room before. This will be a good thing to do because it will mean that when I shoot the real parts that I need for my video, I will already have the understanding of what to do so will be able to do it independently. For these test shots, I am going to use a photo that is already on the college computer to place behind the artist so that I don't have to take a specific one for these test shots.

Edited test shot;


In this shot I used the artist and one of the actresses that will be in my video to illustrate the use of a green screen. When I do my actual filming for this part of the video, I will be using another actress and will also need a picture of a brick wall.

How to do the editing;

When editing the video, I didn't know what I was doing because I was new to using Adobe Premier Pro. I had to ask the technician to help me and he taught me about what to do and how to do it. I imported the video onto the software, and then dragged it into the timeline. I had to use the chroma key to remove the green background, and add a picture to it and make it fit the screen. I then stretched the image out so that it lasted the length of the video and so they matched. I then saved the video and uploaded it to YouTube so that I could embed it.

✓Good✓ or ✖bad✖?

I used a picture that was stored on the computers at college as a tester for this shot as the main focus of doing this was to show how I have learned to use the green screen and how to place an image as the background. I think the video has worked well but I haven't removed all of the green background, which makes the shot look slightly unprofessional. This was because I did this as a rough edit and the results weren't too important as it won't feature in my final video. I now have the knowledge of how to use the green screen, so will be able to edit my video when it comes to editing it by myself.
