In today's lesson we went down to the green screen room to be shown how to use and shoot our own footage.
Green screen basics -
- It a green colour because green is the furthest colour from human flesh tones
- Shoot at high resolution
- Light the green screen evenly
- light the back of the actor or object
- Plan the background before shooting the footage
- Make sure props are not too shiny and don't reflect
Using the right camera-
At the Uni we have a choice of cameras we can use. The suggested cameras were the DSLR and a normal camera recorder. We were given some pros and cons of using both the cameras and it was very helpful to learn about the cameras and how they worked.
For my project I will try and use both cameras so I can shoot from different angles and also so I can see which footage is better. We also need to make sure we plane before we film and we know exactly what we want to happen, this will make it easier on us and make sure we creae the best piece.
This lesson was extremely helpful as it gave us an understanding of how to use the green screen and how to get the best results from it. I will make sure i listen to the advice that has been given when it comes to my own project.
