Green Screen

Using a green screen

A video we looked at:

This week and last week our group worked on using a green screen for the firs time.
We decided to recreate the scene from Harry Potter where Harry gets an invisibility cloak because in the actual movie production they also use a green screen.

Inspiration:

Our recreation:

How to add a green screen on final cut:

1. Take the video you filmed and put it onto final cut

2. Drag and drop it onto the timeline

3. Take the photo that you want to replace the green screen and place it below the filmed video

4. Go to effect and drag 'keyer' onto the green screen video

What went well:

- Our way of screenshoting the original scene and putting our scene on top worked well

- we got all the angles and shots of the original video

What could have gone better:

- for some reason I was a little transparent so you could see Ron behind me

- The creases in the green screen created some darker spots which were a little visible in the scene

Makeup and Costumes

MAKEUP:

For make up we followed a few fake bruise tutorials from youtube and pictures on google and Pinterest

We put some fake blood in her nose to look like a nosebleed. for the regular makeup we kept it quite light but added some mascara and lipgloss to show her character.

COSTUMES:

OLIVIAs costume consists of a silver dress that we cut up and covered in mud (although maybe not super apparent), and some black heels. This is meant to represent her character as an irresponsible party girl

Here was the original EMMA costume that we used. it consisted of a white shirt and a red plad skirt. the skirt ended up being too small for our actrice so we changed it for a blue plad skirt and we added a white cardigen

Our second shoot:

In our second shoot we used a lot more makeup so that it would show up better on camera because that was an issue we had with our first time filming. we also gave her a lighter blue dress so that the blood and mud we smeared on it would show up better.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          We didn't make many changer to our final girls costume. her clothing was technically different but the same thought went into it (this was just so that the clothing she wore was more comfortable)

We looked at this vide for inspiration for our bruises and cuts
