During one lesson we set up a green screen and props that created a band, I chose to be the lead singer as I felt I would benefit from the experience, gaining more confidence whilst performing in front of the camera. Three cameras were set up at points around the performers to record from various different angles. The differing shot types enabled us to capture a shot of each of us which we could then switch between whilst we the edited footage on Final Cut. We used the computer editing programme to put together the music video and alter the background, by using the Chroma key and moving the lines to select the green background we were able to remove the selected colour and put in an image of our own. We chose to use a clock as it related to the song 'Tik Tok' and fits in with the random Indie Pop aspects.
This task made me realise that not all of the locations/settings within a music video have to be natural and the green screen is a possible way of creating effective and interesting backgrounds that will avoid viewer fatigue and create a more fun and lively atmosphere. It has also given me more in depth knowledge of how to use Final Cut and the Chroma key which will be highly beneficial when it comes to editing our music video clips. I thoroughly enjoyed this task as it gave me an insight to what the atmosphere will be like when we film our own music video.
