Technical - Green Screen


We decided to learn how to use the green screen in order to expand our knowledge on different editing types and effects, incase we wanted to use a green screen in our thriller opening.           


We first filmed David in front of the green screen with a DSLR camera, then uploaded that footage to the Mac and imported it into Final Cut Pro. We found an image on google images that could serve as the background image, save it, and imported it into final cut pro. We placed the video into the timeline, and placed the image underneath the video layer, then used the keyer tool to remove the green background of the video. There was still small amounts of the background left, so we used the Sample Colour tool to remove the rest of the colour, by selecting a region that had the remaining colour in it.
