Syncing Shots

Now that the students have a better understanding of lighting, they understand how to use their Chroma Key for Green Screening, and have had practice with two projects it is time to start thinking how to lace shots together.  Today the students will be learning how to sync multiple shots together into one.

Educanon Syncing Video

When they have finished their video they will have the opportunity to work on their existing Green Screening Projects.

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.

 Pre-Planning Storyboard - 5 points
 Green Screen Clip - 5 points
 Green Screen Audacity Sound Engineering - 5 points
Sketchup Studio Design - 5 points
