Preparing our Green screen shoot
A little history of 'Chroma Keying'
Hollywoods History of Faking It
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?
