Green Screen with Fireworks Practise....

Hi everyone,


Considering that I am thinking of including the use of a green screen within my music video, before filming, I have decided to do some practise editing and shooting techniques - helping me understand the software in more depth to make editing the final music video easier.

Therefore, I have comprised a video consisting of a short green screen attempt where I have included my original idea of fireworks alongside some footage of the actor/artist of that is going to be included within my main music video task.

Here is my practise video:



By doing this it has ultimately allowed me to gain a grasp of the software and effects that are used in order to create this particular effect. Hopefully, this will make it easier for myself when doing post-production with green screen in my main music video task, if I decide to use the effect.


Hope you enjoyed it!

See you soon!

Problems when editing with Green Screen....

Hi everyone,

When trying to edit my green screen footage, I discovered a problem when changing the 'Ultra Key' selected colour of green, as the top right hand corner was not selected because the green screen was not filmed square with the camera position:

As a result of this I found a tutorial on YouTube that helped me to crop my clip, so that the top right hand corner wouldn't be seen, however within this process it only zoomed in on my clip by 'Scaling' it. Therefore, I may reconsider this initial idea of fireworks and green screen as it would limit varied shot type as constant 'Scaling' would be needed to cut out the excess background - just zooming in on my footage.

This is the cropping tutorial:



From this tutorial I manage to achieve the green screen edge-to-edge:

Hope you enjoyed it!

Green Screen Tutorial....

Hi everyone,

For my music video I am thinking of using a green screen in order to get various shots easily within different locations, and to add the extra effect of fireworks within the background of my artist to portray the 'stars' within my song from my music video 'Seeing Stars'.

In order to achieve this effect I decided to look at tutorials first and to do a practise green screen effect which will be posted soon.

This is the tutorial I followed: 

This YouTube tutorial was very useful, as it breaks down the key points of transforming the green screen into the added background needed making it easy for me to follow.

Hope you enjoyed it!

See you soon!
