 Below is a quick tutorial to create the Chromakey

  

Working Friday

Today the students will be working on finishing their two mini projects.   They need to be finished with their first Green Screen Clip.  When they have completed it and emailed it to me they need to work on their Special Effects Clip.  But first they are watching this quick video on Green Screens.

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.

Time to Focus More on Lighting.

Today the students will be learning about the importance of manipulating light.  They will be completing the Educanon Modules below.  If they still have time at the end of class they can continue to work on their Chromo Keying Special Effects Project.
