3) Technical tutorials

Here is the picture of the 'Green Screen' which we have and we will be using 'Final Cut' to edit. Green Screen is a low budget way of making a music video seem and look interesting. However there are some elements I had to think about such as:

• The person in front of the green screen cannot wear green
• 3 lights would be needed- key light (front) and two lights on each side
• Footwear- such as no stilettos which could tear the green screen or dirty footwear
• Booking the room and technician in advance
• Performance from the artist- no matter how many effects are put in, the performance from the artist is also crucial!.
  
• Whilst filming- use 3 different cameras- long shot, close up and handheld
• Give direction!- its up to the floor manager/director to say when to count the cameras in so the camera man knows when to start.
• Film the whole song each time.
  

In my technical tutorial on photo shop, i practiced creating a album front cover for an artist. This helped me develop my technical skills on photo shop so when it comes to making the real one my skills are more advanced. I changed the pictorial colour effects to make the photo more interesting as well as including a frame with an outer glow to make the photo stand out in front of the black background. I also went on www.dafont.com to get the writing style rather than limiting myself to the ones on photo shop.
