Construction: FILMING PROCESS (group)

Problems we encountered while filming


1. Not having a fast release plate for the tripod made our shots shaky. 1 is a comparison between tripod and no tripod
2. At our first location, Boston Manor we were recording under a bride meaning the background noise was really loud. This led to us moving to Heath Park, a quiet location
3. On our 2nd time recording we had continuity issues like this. In the first shot the protagonist's hood is off but in the next shot it is on
4. In some shots of the sniper the orange  part of the air soft gun was visible making the scene look unrealistic and unprofessional
5. When at first we were using auto focus the quality was much worse on the ground shots. Also I forgot to turn on the mic for the first shots

Chroma Key (Teejay Celeste)

Chroma Key 

Chroma key compositing, or chroma keying, is a visual effects / post-production technique for compositing (layering) two images or video streams together based on color hues (chroma range). The technique has been used heavily in many fields to remove a background from the subject of a photo or video – particularly the newscastingmotion picture and videogame industries. A color range in the foreground footage is made transparent, allowing separately filmed background footage or a static image to be inserted into the scene. The chroma keying technique is commonly used in video production and post-production.
