Greenscreen Workshop

This is Eddy and Estefania's greenscreen workshop. I had to use this video because me and my partners edited files got lost somewhere. In order to edit a greenscreen you need to open Adobe After Effects. Once in the after affects import desired picture to replace greenscreen. Search "keylight" in effects and presets panel. After you need to choose the dropper in the panel to turn the screen from green to black. Then you need to change the view to screen matte and raise screen gain amd balance which eliminates the light areas in the greenscreen. Swith the view to the final view and drag desired picture into the lower panel. Make sure to fix the picture by scaling it to where you want it and when you feel you are done,export. When filming with a greenscreen it is important to consider positioning and lighting. Some problems that could arise when editing a greenscreen is that the screen may not be positioned right and when editing the video, you will be able to seee those spots that are outside of the range. Also lighting needs to be right or else body parts may be cut off while editing. Between premiere pro and adobe after effects, I found adobe after effects to be easier to use for editing purposes.

Navajo and Iroqouis Traditions and Reflection

1.After reviewing the comments I made on other videos I feel that the video couldve been a lot more creative by adding titles in the beginning and sound. I did all of the final editing and had limited time. If I had gotten help from my partner that would have been nice and appreciated. Due to the limit of time I was not able to add in credits and copyright. I think the overall message of the video was well presented.
2.I really would have liked to add music because it adds attracts attention and appeals to senses. I also thought it was a good idea when people were together in videos because they seemed more informative.
3.In the process of making the script I gave input on what to put in the script. I also helped look for background pictures and helped when editing the greenscreen.
4.I dont feel like I had too much support from my partner with this project. Like I said I did all of the final editing with limited time. My partner did upload the video,do the editing for the greenscreen background and put input for the script. I think its important to have help and input from partners with projects like this.
5. If I had a chance to re do this project I would add credits and spend a lot more time on it with my partner. The creativity level would be a whole lot better.
