By going on general, I changed the colour and transparency, I then went on transform and changed the size of the rectangle and cropped it to the right shape. I then went on insert, CG clip and then to QuickShapes where I selected a rectangle. I found the font, Futuristic and used that to show the sign post of the news headline. I also tried to copy the format and structure of the news programme by using the same colours, style and fonts. Then I took an image of the Sky News logo off Google Images and inserted it onto the clip. This enabled me to use shadows and colour to change the background to make it more realistic. I then used the Chroma Key to fade out the green colour so the actor is superimposed upon the background. Then using Serif MoviePlus X6 Digital Edition, I had to edit out the green by putting a video from Youtube over the top of it. For these reasons, we want to have a banner going across the bottom of the screen with world/breaking news, but the report be more local, however it is still important news.įirstly, when making the Sky News clip, I had to film my actor in front of a green screen. We also asked what type of news they liked, there was a close vote between local and breaking news. This means that our audience would know the severity of the news report, setting up the enigma for the actual film.

In the survey we decided that we were to use a Sky News backround as it was the most reliable news channel. Here is a link to our survey monkey on news reports: We learnt throughout our research that this is the most commonly watched news channel and the most reliable. We decided to use a green screen that mirrors SKY NEWS. The weather channel is commonly known to be the main people that use a green screen, but Hollywood productions and numerous studios also use green screens. In our research of green screens, it was identified that studios such as ITV, BBC, SKY, Channel 4 News CNN all use green screens. In our use of green screen, we wanted to use it for our news report. How a green screen works- youtube video clip: ‘Chroma keying is a special effects / post-production technique for compositing two images or video streams together based on colour hues’

When do film producers use green screens? By using a bright green instead of pink, black white or purple- common colours worn, the effect tends to be way more effective. Any clothing that matches the background too closely will also key out, punching a hole in your subject’s body, or making him invisible altogether. Bright green beats blue partially because it is not a colour commonly worn by talent.

In order to isolate one area from the rest, the background color must be distinctly different. You can use any colour, such as pink, red and purple, but the question comes to mind: Why Green? The biggest factor is contrast. In the visual effects world of Hollywood, blue screens are far more common than green. A blue or green background in front of which moving subjects are filmed and which allows a separately filmed background to be added to the final image.
