Green Screen Testing

We decided to do a test shoot of our infinite white background idea which would dominate the performance. We took this initiative early so that we could also do a test edit of this and work out if this is a viable path to take.

We booked a slot in the Seward Studio (a brand new studio in our school) and we used a green screen that the school owns and is normally used for photography along with a larger green screen which I brought in. In the studio, we positioned the camera and lighting as best as we could to good the optimum quality shots, however this proved difficult since both green screens were too small.

To test our faceless artist identity idea, we painted Adam’s face green and took some shots of him. After capturing and editing the footage in Adobe CS5 After Effects we realised that the final result was not as desired due to the dull paint that we used. That, in combination with the small green screens not allowing us to film our desired varied shot types, allowed us to come to the conclusion that we wouldn’t be able to produce a strong enough end result so this was definitely not a viable option.
