Green Screen Footage Link

Here is the link for the Green Screen Footage in your One Drives!

Green Screen Link

Special Effects and Chroma Key

Today the students will be getting a special effects reel to play with.  We will be focusing on how they can use their existing footage and splice in one of these effects.  They will have to choose an effect and trim it inside of Premiere Elements.  Then place themselves into the footage using what they have learned about Chroma Keying.

Green Screen Project

The Green Screen Project will encompass everything we have worked on in class thus far. The students will be using Google Sketchup to create a 3D environment to do a fake news segment in. They will then film the interview portion in front of green screen and use the chromakey feature to place themselves in the scene. They will also be responsible for creating at least two sound effects inside of Audacity and played as sound effects during the scene.


 This project is worth 25 points.

 They will be graded as follows:

 Pre-Planning Storyboard - 5 points
 Green Screen Clip - 5 points
 Green Screen Audacity Sound Engineering - 5 points
Sketchup Studio Design - 5 points
Quality Mark Up - 5 points.
