Filming the video!

One of the most important elements of my music video is using the green screen. It will allow me to create backgrounds that will contrast with me signing and make my signs easy to follow. It will also allow me to use more interesting backgrounds that fit in with the theme of the song.

 1.) The first step of editing a green screen is to choose your background. You then insert this into your editing programme. I am using IMovie from Apple.
 2.) After this you film your clip against a green screen, trying to make sure that the background is even and there are no obvious creases etc.










3.) Once you clip has been uploaded you can take it and drag it over you chosen background. When you do this a menu should come up and all you have to do is select 'green screen'.


 4.) Now you have green screened your clip and it should appear over your back ground. Now you have to sort out the 'cropping' and make sure your clip is fitted on screen properly. If your clip is a little fuzzy around the edge or has green showing through you can try and remedy this by going to the 'video' settings. Here you can change the colour concentration of the clip until it looks better over the green screen.

 5.) Ta-Dah! Now your clip should be green screened.
