How To Add Effects To A Green



This video shows how to use a green screen and to ass effects.


You will need to place you green screen in the place where your film or photo shoot will take place. to do this you will need put your screen on a stand and hang it from a pole which goes from the two side poles. This will help your green screen be stable.                       

1. Make sure you are standing away from the screen so that any light will not create a shadow onto the screen. make sure that you create an even tone of light on the green screen. If a green screen is lit too brightly or the person is too close to the screen, you risk the green color reflecting off the screen and spilling onto the person. The spill color, which could end up on clothes or the side of your face, is the same color as the screen, when you key the screen, the spill area will be keyed out as well.

  2. To prevent a flat effect, place at least two lights slightly above head height, pointing downward onto you. Of these two lights, one light should be half as bright as the other.
  3. To create a clear distinction between the background screen and the foreground person, you need a back light. This third light should be small, bright, and narrowly focused at an angle so that it hits the back of your head and shoulders. The background should be equal to the exposure of the person. The back light should be brighter so that it is visible above the lighting of the other elements. With you well lit, you can more easily get an exact edge to you.
  4. With your lighting set up, you’re ready to find the right camera angle and start recording.

Tanya and Sam 'You Me At Six' Group 1


Tanya was able to present the power point confidently.
The power point was a good presentation because it gave enough information about what is going to happen in the music video. Also I was able to understand what she was explaining about. I like the idea about the car park sence. I like how they have the idea of the car lights behind the dancer/singers. However i feel that it may not be safe with the cars in the car park.

Group 2 Harris 'Beautiful lazers'


A clear presentation and easy to understand. However I still don't understand the meaning of what the video is trying to say.
Do you think that the ideas will work?

Group 3 shuab 'No Space Between'


The presentation is very interesting and easy to understand.

Are you going to use any effects?
How long do you think it will take to make?
Do you think it will work?

Meeting 3/10/11

Today we were talking about what music video we would like to do. 1st we decided to do ke$ha - Party At At A Rich Dude's house. However our idea which was to get loads of people to dance and party but it would be hard to get people to dance to the camera. So we then decided to find a new song which would be much easier to make.

Notes From Todays Lesson 29/09/11

Today in Media we had had to sing and mime to Glee - Don't Stop Believing. We done this because sir wanted to show that when you mime in music videos it do not look as natural as when you sing in your music videos Also he wanted us to build our confidence for when we make our music videos. We learned about the 3 main music videos which are: Narrative, Performance, Concept.  We then had to research the 3 main music video types and write a blog about each 3.

Meeting For Music Video. (Kesha-Party At A Rich Dude's House)

Our first idea for our music video is to the song Party At A Rich Dude's House by Ke$ha is to get 16+ students to charge into the staff room and kick chairs and tables over and drinking and vomiting all over the staff room as  well as trashing the roof garden like chucking paper and empty plastic bottles.

Narrative Videos, Performance Videos, Concept videos.

Jessie J - Who's Laughing Now

The video of Jessie J - Who's Laughing Now is a Narrative Video which means that it tells a story about the singer.  In this music video she is telling a story about when she was young at school and getting bullied.  At the start of the video and young Jessie is walking through the corridor at school and a group of girls laughing and pointing at Jessie. This suggests that the girls are talking about Jessie and teasing her. Jessie's reaction to this shows that she is feeling uncomfortable about this girls looking and pointing at her. This is shown by Jessie looking at the girls and putting her head down and walking on.  Throughout the video Jessie J is getting bullied in the class room with the girls calling her name and pulling her hair and chair. Towards the end Jessie J stands up to the bullies and fights back. The story of the video is saying about how Jessie has become successful and is saying to the bullies look at me, look who's laughing now.

Cher Lloyd - Swagger Jagger


The video for Swagger Jagger by Cher Lloyd is a performance type video which shows different groups of people dancing to the camera doing their own thing. The video starts of with Cher Lloyd walking down the street with a stereo and listening to music through headphones.

BTEC Media HomeWork

For my media homework I am going to analysis the video Fatboy Slim - Weapon Of Choice. I will be talking about Mise En Scene whihc is what the camera sees. So I will be talking about The follow:


Clothes/Make up
Locations
Props
Lighting
Actor movements/expressions.


At the start of the video there is a man around 40 years of age sitting in a chair dressed smart and looking fed up. From this i get the impression that the man is feeling sad emotion. You can see this by the way he is sitting in the chair. He is sitting in the chair as if he don't care about anything any more. The surrounding light appears to be dull with flickers of light in the background. This sets the scene of depression and sadness.

Florence And The Machine: Mise-En-Sen Analysis

I will be analysing the music video 'Rabbit Heart' by Florence and the machine by using the 5 elements of Mise-en-sen. The 5 elements of Mise-en-sen are as follows:

1) Location, Setting & Props.
2) Costume. Hair & make-up.
3) Facial Expressions & body Language.
4) Lighting & Color.
5) Positioning Of Characters/Objects in the frame.

Location, Setting & Props
The location of the video is set in a park/field surrounded by trees. There is a lake in which Florence float on at the end of the video. The impression I get from this setting is that Florence is in a fairytale. I also get the impression that everything around her is clam.  The setting of the location is sunny and bright. This gives the impression that it could be spring or summer which gives a warm feeling about the video. Florence uses a long dining table in her video where people look as if it's dress to impress. The long dining table is covered with a verity of food such as: Grapes & Oranges. The impression i get from this is that it could be the last super before something happens. i also get the impression of the film Alice In Wonderland. 

Costume. Hair & make-up
Florence is dressed is a pale green to suggest nature which is related to the setting which is based in a park/field. It also suggest that she is bright which links to the weather which is sunny and bright. He hair is like a fire/red colour which can suggest anger and passion towards her emotions. Her lips are a strawberry red which could represent passion or anger.
