The Green screen process was very long for our team. Our first attempt at shooting on green screen failed to produce a good enough quality product to work with. They way we set up the lighting caused the green screen to be darker in some areas than others, which when it came to using After effects, it made it impossible to knock out the background without getting a dark shadow around the subject. We decided to re-shoot the whole thing again, this time it was a success. We set the lighting up a different way which made the green screen a more even shade of green the whole way across.
After re-shooting we started editing and found it was much easier to knock out the green. We all learnt to make things prefect the first time so problems like this wouldn’t happen again. It was very important to get the lighting right and also to get all the camera setting right the first time around.

Scene using Internal and External reverses

Working with a team for the first time was interesting, every person brought different ideas to the table for our next mini project. A scene composed of 6 lines of dialogue. Every one took on different rolls within the group and we came up with a premise that stealing and being a criminal has big consequences, which we all thought was a strong start.
We started to write up dialogue and the different camera shots we would need to make this project look good. As we got our chance to start filming one of our members decided that he didn’t like the idea and came up with his own, and we were stuck making his film which we all thought didn’t turn out the way it should have. I think we all realised that our story could have been written much better, the editing side could have been better and the way we worked together could have been better.

My 3 cut Montage

After capturing and editing, viewing the final of my montage I have realised that coming up with three different shots can be a difficult process if not thought out an constructed properly.
As this was my first time using Final Cut Pro to edit a clip I found that my cuts were very slow and the camera work wasn’t of the best quality. But I’m sure that with more practice my end results will keep on improving
