Team Production Meeting AE 2 - Alex and Paula Tuesday, 3 December 2013

Who is present -
-Alex Purvis
-Paula Perez

What went wrong with the shooting?
With our shooting we thought that it went quite well. We got some footage that we needed to edit and was still and fairly easy to edit. But one thing that was bad was that when we needed to shoot that hand it was ment to be around a bag but we just did it in the classroom so it didn't have the right background. Also when we did try to add effects the background colour was a few shades different to the skin on my hand. So it kept thinking that it was my hand so we need to think about where we shoot it.

What did you struggle with using after effects?
Using after effects i felt like i understood it well and was fairly simple to use. However, when i did do my after effects the effect kept thinking the background was part of it so i had to keep moving the effect around to fit.

What do you need to learn?
I think that im fine at the moment as i think i know what to do, But i think i need to kearn how to use a green screen as we need it to make a pen float.

What assets do you need?
At the moment I dont need any assests as the ones that i need are all ready on after effects in the effects option.

P1. RESEARCH AND UNDERSTANDING GREEN SCREEN

Chroma Keying, otherwise known as Green Screening is a world known special effects/post production technique used to add visual effects such as backgrounds to create the scenery needed for example a waiter in Paris. This is done by placing the actor or presenter in front of a huge green screen and the top layer is then made to be transparent, which allows the background image to appear.

Green Screening saves a lot of money and is used frequently on TV and in films. On TV you will notice that the weather man is standing in front of a green screen which is made into a map revealing the weather to all that watch. There have been a lot of films which use green screen for example Marvel use it a lot to create scenery and effects such as The Great Gatsby, The Hobbit, The Avengers, and The Hulk. The Great Gatsby depended on VFX quite a bit to create extra scenery for their locations, for example the part where Toby and the other girl character are walking down the busy street talking about Gatsby. All the background used in that scene was created by VFX. In my opinion you could tell that is was created by VFX but its only noticeable when you focus on it instead of the characters.

As well as the green screen there was first the blue screen, which was created in the 1930's by RKO Radio Pictures, and was used to create the effect of (wipes) which was give the effect of window wipers on cars. It has been 83 years since the birth of the blue screen which has evolved into the green screen which allows more colours to show up easier.
