Task 10 : Filming - Vanishing Scenery

Shot of adjusting the camera angle and position


An action shot of a recording.



These pictures show how we filmed a scene with Kyle in front of the green screen.in order to do this we had to stretch the green screen over all the frame in order for it to not show any creases and make it wide enough so that it filled the camera frame therefore it allows the software to pic up the colour of the green screen and over lay an image on the selected colour for us being green. This was used to create a scene in which we would fade the scene of Kyle out as he travels back in time whilst over laying an image of a location from the previous scene but in a different angle to suit the way Kyle is sat. 
The benefits of the green screen is that you can take pictures of the location if you don't have time to film that day and then use a green screen to put them into the scene, however the disadvantages of this technique is that the green screen can create noise in the film giving the area around the actor of which was green screen but now the overlapped imagery tends to have a fuzzy, grainy feel that will crackle on the screen. this problem can be reduced by pulling the green screen smooth usually or by applying a noise filter effect over the scene however this is not always possible to remove and therefore can detract form the realness of the scene overall effecting the film quality.


 This video shows how we filmed Kyle. What we'd aimed for was a Medium shot just below the waist in order to show him disappear in the film in align to the perspective of the picture we had taken. If we hadn't done this type of shot for were to far away then Kyle wouldn't have been proportional for the location he was appearing in and if we had to enlarge the background image to compensate then it would begin to pixelate so scaling and framing for this shot was important.
