Filming Diary

Green screen photo-shoot and filming

We had to make a few initial checks prior to the photo-shoot, this would ensure superior photos on completion. The first of which would be the planning of the studio layout, this would include the layout which would allow for optimised lighting as well as giving space for movement of the artist and camera. The second would be the size of the actual green screen as this would give room for any movements of the camera; this allowed for easy of angels and shoots. Unfortunately, due to lack of sufficient lighting it did result in some shadows, we decided to move some extra lighting equipment until the shadows became minimal.

We used a fabric green screen which stopped any reflections of lighting as well as giving a much more vibrant and clearer shade of green; this was a huge benefit when in post production which allowed quick adjustments with the use of the ultra key effect in the Adobe Premier software. On the other hand the fabric green screen didn’t prevent creases, this caused a unprofessional look to the piece; we solved this problem through effect characteristics with the ultra key effect during post production, this allowed us to avoid spending vast amounts of time fixing this problem when filming.

 

Uploading footage

After uploading the green screen footage, we began to transform the filmed piece. This incorporated adding effects which would completely convert our clips. We started by changing the background colour through the use of ultra key which allow quick alterations with colours. The more lengthy part of post production with the green screen pieces was when eliminating the shadows and creases;  this was altered through different characteristics within the ultra key effect, it allowed us to adjust the shadow, smoothness and others alike.

Music Video

Here is our final music video, the soundtrack we used was I Wish by Cher Lloyd. Throughout the creation of this video we have encountered continuously but we have pulled a hugely successful music video from all of this. As you can see throughout the creation we have found solutions for all problems and have this is show for our incessant hard work. We as a group believe that this final piece is truly following conventions of the pop genre as well as purposely challenging them in order for creativity and uniqueness.
