When planning our production work, we discussed using greenscreen for the first chorus of the song. However, we realised that none of us knew how to use greenscreen properly and efficiently. Therefore, we decided that we would use our Thursday lesson to practice and develop some new skills needed to perform greenscreen and decide whether we should use it or not for our final production. This is the video that we managed to create, however we had to use clips that other groups had created for their pieces, therefore there is no particular plot but just Jacob walking around in the shot. We didn't take away the sound as we didn't think it was necessary to as we already know how to remove sounds from the clips therefore there is nonsense talking for example at the start some girls shout "1, 2, 3 - GO!".
We now understand how to use the greenscreen application on the Mac and we understand that we need to try not to get the lighting hitting the greenscreen background otherwise much like the top left corner of our short piece in which it is clear that Jacob is not in the same shot as the background. We also understand that we need to make sure the cloth is not creating any shadows otherwise it is also clear that the clips are not from the same shots.
