VFX

One visual affects feature we used was Green screening, In the lecture one of the students recorded themselves in-front of a green screen In which we were tasked to key out the green color to make the selected color (green) transparent – after this was done we were able to replace the background and add other visual affects if we wished.

In this project we were tasked to make an edit with the green screen and key out the green and replace it with a background of choice. In mine, i used the alpha key tool to key out the green screen and i replaced it with a foreground as well as background. I put a room type background in the back to make it look as though he was standing infront of said background. I got another image of the front of a cabin including the window, I cropped the greenscreen footage into place so it looked like he was near the window. This makes it look as though we are looking through the cabin at him. I also added some minor affects such as the snow loop which is snow particles constantly moving as tho it was realistically snowing. I also used an image of fairy lights to make it look as if the cabin was decorated. I took the photos into Photoshop to make sure they were right for the project, I added my own affects such as outer glow onto the lights to look as if they were shining and also projecting light onto the cabin wall.

Camera Trick

The team I operated in consists of me, Pavle, Leah and Pascal. I was in charge of filming and ‘Directing’ alongside Leah and Pascal. Pavle was the actor in this task, He did all the camera Videos whilst we all edited it ourselves.
