In order to create the desired effect with our artist appearing in silhouette and having our cool experiments making up exciting and colourful backgrounds, we were going to have to use a green screen. However, no one in our group had ever worked with green screen before so naturally, class this week presented the perfect opportunity to discover a bit about where exactly we had access to green screen facilities and how to use them – with the assistance of Rohan of course.

Three years in a Media course and I had never once been inside the green screen room in building 9! It was exciting to go inside for the first time and see how everything in there worked. We played around with getting the lighting right in order to be able to create our silhouette idea most effectively in post and took notes on which buttons to press, where to situate our artist, instructions to give them, where to set up the camera, what settings to film on etc. Having gotten everything worked our we even filmed a little of ourselves to ensure that we would have some footage to practice with to make sure that we would be able to produce the results we after in Premiere. With a quick play around below you will find what we managed to put together in order to present some form of visual example of ideas going into Thursday’s official pitch!
