Session 6

GreenScreen Movie Making

Can use Flip cameras to film.

Keys to Filming. Must have nothing but green. Use Bedsheets and iron them. String them together.

Cool Activity: was done. Shout out dance moves and students took turns going infront of screen. This was done as an intro activity. -Used iMovie

If you don't have a mac.Microsoft Movie maker has plug in (Google search will find it). Song Vegas may also work. It has chroma key. Doesn't use spot lights. Just overhead lights. Stay in one spot.

Building in layers. -Start with the base (what is the farthest thing in the back) You can use still image or videos. iMovie does not have advanced tools turned on by default.

Everytime you are happy with the layers you have. You must render the movie.This will create the movie as is. Keep adding green screen action. Build from back to the front.

Each level must be rendered (turn it into one strip of film) The images for background, need to be high resolution images that can be blown-up. Flickr. - Explore - Search- Advanced Search- Creative Commons. Search for adjective terms. You can get a virtual set as well.

Have kids find backgrounds first. Use tape marks to identify where they need to be.


 * Uses**

-Six grade: Used it to do weather forcasts, as a culminating activity Weatherbug has moving images of maps -Storyboards are used. Some get hung up on this process.

8th graders -Rock videos to discuss different types of rocks
