Evaluation

What is a green screen?
A Green Screen is basically just a piece of green paper or cloth that is hung up with a metal rig which is like some metal pols put together where the piece of paper or cloth just goes other the top of it so it stays up and then the person just stands in the middle with Soft Box light and Red head lights around him making sure there isnt any shadows and making sure there isnt any lines in the cloth/ paper because when this happens and you take it into the editing software you will still be able to see them even though you'd get rid of the green background.


What were we asked to make?
We were asked to create a Short Film by using a green screen 45-60 seconds long and we much bring props and costumes to use whilst filming if we needed them and then we were able to choose our own backgounds and SFX to our personal film and we were told that once we had filmed the film the we would edit the film ourselves so then everyone in the room would have a different film to everyone elses.

What tools did you use?
Video Effects
Keying
Ultra Key
Output
Setting
Key Color
Matte Cleanup
Choke
Soften
Contrast
Mid Point

Research:
I reserched about Diegetic and Non-diegetic sounds:


http://filmsound.org/terminology/diegetic.htm
Diegetic sound:
This is where you can hear a sound and at the same time you can also see the action of the object or person that is creating the sound. 
  • actors speaking to each other (dialogue)
  • sounds originating from any object on the screen, like footsteps and police sirens
  • music that comes from a sound system or orchestra
Non-Diegetic sound:

Sound is said to be nondiegetic when its source is not present or implied in the narrative universe. Common instances are:
  • music or score, used to augment emotions
  • actor’s commentary or narration
  • any extra sound added for effect
Conclusion:
I think that i did really well on this assignment, however i could have done some more things different such as i will blogger everything once i had compleated the small task or throughout the task depending if i am doing editing so i have to show each step and also so i dont forget the names of the tools that i used.

Below is a peice of paper with my feedback to all of the other groups and people that had created a greenscreen short film in out course so they played them on the smart board and then the person who's it is had to stand up and then tell us about the video and what its about.



Uploading my video to youtube

This image is showing me on Youtube about to upload my Short Film that i have created by using a green screen.

This image is showing the option to choose which the video file that my Green Screen Shot Film is on.
This is my uploading my final Short Film onto youtube.

Green screen video steps



To start off the lesson we were told to sit so we could see the board and then we were told to write down somethings that we would need to know how to do out green screen short film. Next we set up a new project by going to File - New -Project. And then we had to make sure all of the video files were all in the same folder so when we next open the video it isn't corrupt because Adobe Premier Pro can't find the video files and then when we put them all in we had to do a skelinton edit. 




We had to get some video files of things that we wanted in our green screen video so then we would have moving images behind us do it isn't just a still image. So we used a website called Savefrom.net to download the videos we wanted from YouTube.

research on diegetic and non-diegetic sounds

http://filmsound.org/terminology/diegetic.htm

I have found a good link that explains what Diegetic and Non-Diegetic sound is and it also has some examples of the different types of sound.

Diegetic sound:
This is where you can hear a sound and at the same time you can also see the action of the object or person that is creating the sound. 
  • actors speaking to each other (dialogue)
  • sounds originating from any object on the screen, like footsteps and police sirens
  • music that comes from a sound system or orchestra
Non-Diegetic sound:
Sound is said to be nondiegetic when its source is not present or implied in the narrative universe. Common instances are:
  • music or score, used to augment emotions
  • actor’s commentary or narration
  • any extra sound added for effect
Non-diegetic is also known as commentary or nonliteral sound.

On this link page it shows how a film called Zombieland sounds different it the non-diegetic sounds have been taken out and from what i can tell is that most of the noises in this film are actually non-diegetic because when they play the clip again it sounds so much different and the sounds are not as loud and they don't really sound the same as they do on the actual film with the non-diegetic sounds in it. They have used a number of different non-diegetic sounds such as:

  • Walking
  • The gun reloading
  • When they gulled the guns out
  • When they opened the van back doors
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YreJ0SamM0I

In this film clip they have used both diegetic and non-diegetic sound such as:
Diegetic:
  • when they are talking
  • When they get into the barrels and fall into the water 
  • When the hatch opens and closes
Non-Diegetic:
  • The walking on the wooden floor
  • The music in the background



Green screen

At the start of the lesson we were given this sheet and was told to use the internet and your own knowledge to fill it out such as What is a green screen? and How Does it work? so we had to write underneath it how the green screen works and then once we had finished that sheet we were put into groups and was told to think of different films that used green screens to create the film.
Then we was asked to come up of a couple of different ideas that we could do in college using there green screen.



3 films that have used green screen:
The Hobbit:

Alice in Wonderland:

Captain America:
