Green Screening Analysis - hollie

What was easy about green screening?
I found that the easiest part of green screening was transferring the photos onto the green screen and making sure they were in the right position. This makes it much easier to be able to crop the photo if needed and correctly.

What are the difficulties/pitfalls of green screening?
The hardest thing about green screening was making sure that all the small green bits around the artist was all clear. To prevent this from happening we had to fiddle with all the contrast and the lama to find the perfect balance. The second thing i found difficult is making sure that whilst taking the photo the lighting is suitable for the background that i would be replacing the green screen with.

How could green screening be used in music videos?
To portray an image or background that will help create and develop the genre of the music video but making the locations of the music video exactly what the artist and label company want. This is more cost effective making it look great and very beneficial.

What music genres could use green screens? How?
I think my still using a green screen could of come out of a music video with an image genre. i think this because the still has a girl in a hoodie looking over her shoulder surrounded in graffiti, this creates an image to the audience of a very stereotypical gangster.

How could you use it for your music video?
We could just green screening in our music video to portray an image that we couldn't create within a school. This widens our choices of what locations we can use and this will make the music video so much better and effective.

Lastly something that i would improve in this green screen still, is that the lighting of the character is very different to the lightening in the photo that replaced the green screen. So next time i would alter the lighting when we filmed to fit the location/background of the still.



After trailing a range of different shot ideas, we have decided to use green screening in a small section of the music video. We have decided to use this is the scene where two people hold hands, we used to green screen to make the background completely black. We have used it to focus on the people holding hands more than the background as well as fitting in with the genre of our music video. This will be a symbolic and will show the audience the importance of the holding hands as well as linking to the lyrics of the song. This will be effective because it will really concentrate on the hands and not the background.
