Green screen

One of the important elements that we decided to include in our media product is the use of the green screen. This facility is available to us as students and as a group we thought that it would be a very good idea to use the green screen to create variety within our work. Also the use of a green screen is a very different element and will hopefully make our music video stand out and make our artist recognisable. 

The above image contain print screens of our footage before we added the image onto the background.  This was our first time as a group using the green screen element and therefore when it came to editing our work it was quite difficult to get to grips with at the beginning as it requires learning a new skill.  However I think that the overall image that we created was very effective and appeals to our target audience of 16-24 year olds. 

One of the elements that we would perhaps change if we were to use the green screen again is the artists costume. We would use a plain costume, this is because when it comes to adding the image behind the green screen the artists costume interfered with the process. We was not aware that the costume would have this effect as we had not used this technical facility before, but it is useful to know this information for the future. 

The images above display the final effect that the green screen had on our work. As a group we are very pleased with the overall visual look of the green screen and it adds a unique element to our own work. We also like how the artist herself has been placed in black and white as we feel these colours work well with the image featured behind. I think that if the artist was to remain in colour it could've made our work look less professional. Furthermore, the use of dark colouring throughout these shots ties in very well with the overall image that we are trying to create for the video and our artist.
