Preparing our Green screen shoot

A little history of 'Chroma Keying'

Man with a movie camera

So today we have seen Dziga Vertov's 'Man with a Movie Camera' ( Full film on Youtube ). Assignment for next week (tuesday) is to select a scene/shot according to the project A Global Remake . This shot we'll try to replicate/re-interpret in the green screen studio. (Man with a Movie Camera was a film which captured the everyday life during 1929. Can you re-interpret the scene/shot you chose to reflect the present?)

Please put up a link to your shot of choice below,:and for next week prepare as much as you can:

Try to storyboard your shot / frame your shots, determine camera position(s)
Find a background you want to match your footage
Look at your background, how's the lighting?
Do you need props?
How many people are in the image? Ask classmates to be your actor(s).

Avoid crazy camera movements, the studio is small and the greenscreen can't move
Keep your selection short, we only have a day in the studio
Is the camera angle possible in the studio?
