Greenscreen Workshop Reflection

A greenscreen allows you to film something, and then insert a picture or clip to make it look like you are somewhere else.
When you film with a greenscreen, you need to consider the greenscreen itself. Make sure there aren't any wrinkles or shadows. Shadows can be a problem when your trying to eliminate the greenscreen becauses you won't be able to get the whole screen.
Using After Effects was alot easier when I was trying to fix the greenscreen. As you can see, I wasnt able to eliminate all of the screen, so there is a small green shadow in one of the pictures.

Holiday Greetings Video

I think my partner and I did a good job on making the in and out points clean, and the transitions to the other person. I also think the boarder was good.
If I could do it differently, I would have chosen different music, and also have more of an interaction between my partner and I.
I did alot of stuff. Specifically, after we filmed we put the video on the computer, and uploaded it to Premiere Pro, and then edited like normal from there. Then I asked Dr. A how to add the boarder, and then I looked for some pictures on the internet to use. After I found the right picture, I just imported like a noraml clip, and then continued editing music and other stuff just like the cyberbullying video. My partner and I wrote the scripts together, looked for pictures together, and looked for music together.
If I had another chance to do this project, I would probably chose a different holiday, and more interesting music. In general, I think I would pretty much re-do everything.

5 Things I Learned

What I really liked that this group did in their video was that they had a bunch of quick cuts to people saying "Facebook". They really got the point across that Facebook is a common cyber bullying place, and this was clear because of multiple people having the same opinion on the question.



What this group did a really good job of was re-creating little scenes of how cyber bullying can affect people. I think they were able to capture the drama of it very well.

I learned that if you could use many different transitions for clips, it gives the video a little more excitement; you just have to make sure they are placed correctly and in a non-distracting way. The transitions in this video all worked because they weren't distracting and they were all unique.



This group introduced the speeding up of time in videos to me. I really like how it perfectly fit in with the music. It also caught my attention right away which was a good thing.

What I also learned from this video is how to break up a long clip. The clip of Mr. Schallhorn was pretty long, but I learned that by adding titles to help visualize what is being talked about, the clip doesn’t seem to drag on.
