Green Screen Testing

We went up to the Seward Studio (a new studio the school built) to try out the green screen, so we could test editing the infinite white. It was particularly important to test this because the infinite white would make up a lot of the performance and we would have to shoot everything in green screen, so we wanted to see how good it would look.

In the media department, we had two small green screens that were usually used for photography, and Daniel brought in a larger screen he owned. We set up in the studio, using lighting and a camera, but it was very difficult to get good shots as the green screens were too small.

We also decided to test out the 'faceless' idea, and so Adam painted his face green and we took some shots of him. The paint we used though was too dull, and overall the effect was not particularly desirable.



Upon capturing the footage and editing it in After Effects, we did not like the look of the final product. The screen was too small and so we would not be able to vary our shot types, and would not make for a very good final product. Similarly, the 'faceless' idea was not particularly successful, as the paint we used was strong enough and didn't produce a good final result.
