Using a Green Screen

The whole class went up to the studio and then each group went up to the green screen and filmed our scenes in 20 minutes using all the props that is already there and also props we brought in ourselves so we can have a theme for our short film which we are going to create. The props we used were two big lights placed in the correct are to make sure there are no shadows, the green screen so we can add a different background to the video when editing, a video camera to film our shots, a tripod to hold the camera still, and the props me and my group brought ourselves which was a chair and manga books for the video Callum and Beth wanted to make. But For the video me and Dan wanted to make we only used a mask to indicate the killer. 

Over all everything went well as Callum and Dan were the actors while Victoria, Beth and I were the directors as we told them what they should do. Also Victoria and I handled the camera and the shots to make sure the whole shot is in the frame and that the top half is not cut out. 
Hopefully the editing goes well and that it turns out the way I want it to although we only used one item, which was the mask. To improve on filming, we should have planned our scenes sooner so we could quickly film them and then let the other group use the green screen as we ended up using it for an extra 10 minutes.
