Initial Filming

We were able to have access to an empty class room in the college that was a perfect large empty space so we set up the green screen to film the scene of Mario first 'coming our of the television'.

From filming this clip we have learnt that getting rid of shadows is very important when using a green screen because it disrupts the editing process by not being the same colour as the rest of the background that we were trying to edit. We have also become more aware of how long setting up the equipment actually takes. from this we can now allow ourselves more time for our next filming session.

We took photos of Emma's Tv so that the continuity will not be effected when we film.

Sam was able to capture real game footage to put behind Mario as her comes out of the Tv, this will make our film seem much more realistic as we can include game footage before he 'escapes'.

 

This is how we captured the footage...

News Segment Editing Process

We used 'Final cut pro' to complete or greenscreen effects and give it a news studio style background.

By using the BBC font and Photoshopping out the BBC's original news logo we were able to produce our own take on the classic news headline scroller at the bottom of the screen. This allows our film to look much more professional.

 

This is our basic green screen clip...

During the filming and editing of this clip we learnt alot about how to use lighting correctly with a green screen, there cannot be any shaddows behind the subject as this will disrupt the editing prosses.

and this is the final clip ready to be inserted into our final film with the scrolling headlines and our Nintendo news logo inserted at the bottom of the page. We have also added a musical introduction to the clip that will initially draw our characters attention to the news:

We chose to add images of Princess Peach and Bowser to the side of the clip to help the viewer understand what is being explained, this also relates to other examples  of news clips in comedy programes such as The Simpsons.
