CONSTRUCTION: FILMING NEWS

 In order to present realism in our film, we decided to incorporate a news report into the beginnings of our trailer, utilising the green screen that we had available to us. The green screen allowed us to be able to remove the background behind the target actor, which would in turn let us drop a background of a news room to make it look like they were in a news room.

In order to achieve the highest quality green screen footage we could, we had lights pointing towards the green screen to help us to isolate the shadows that were cast initially on the back ground. The green screen was very successful, and the subject was very cleanly cut using the Ultra Key in Adobe Premiere Pro. During the shooting of the green screen, we also utilised a studio microphone in order for us to capture the highest quality sound for each of the clips we filmed. We then had to sync the audio for each clap, which was much easier as we clapped before the filming of each scene. This gave us a marker in the post-production suite which meant we could match the audio wave forms of each of the clips in order to make sure that the sound file was in time with the video files.
