Green Screen

The use of the green screen in our film.

We aim to use a green screen in our film to create the effect of a news report, focusing on the theme of bullying, this helps with the realism of the film and will create a strong effect and help the audience relate on a more personal levels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How Does a Green Screen Work?

 

It does not have to be green. The technique can be done using any color, even colors which are outside of the spectrum of human vision (as long as you develop a camera that can pick it up). Green is used often because it's easiest for most modern cameras to pick up, giving the editor the cleanest possible image.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is a Green screen.

 

Green screen refers to a technique used to make people look like they are somewhere they aren't. The primary subject is filmed against a plain background, which is normally either green or blue. The background is later replaced with the background of whichever place the subject needs to look like they have gone to.

Synergy

Synergy is when the interaction of two or more forces working together creates a greater effect than the sum of their indivisual efforts.

Media synergy is the way in which different elements of a media conglomerate work together to promote linked products across different media.

Synergy works when different elementswith a media conglomerate promote create linked products.

Cross media convergence and synergy is important to institutions and audiences in many ways such as production. Working Title films is part of a conglomerate with Universal Films owning 67% of Working title (Horizontal Intergration). This means they have access to a higher budget and new technology such as 3D and 4D cinema releases and better CGI effects.

Institution like Working Title have advantages of using 'Cross media convergence' to make more money in the box office, DVD sales from different countries and having better advertising methods.

Synergy is a important factor in our film as we are focusing on working with a variety of other film production, companies and funding companies to enure our film reaches our targets.

Teaser Trailers

A teaser trailer is a short version of a movie trailer that is designed to pique the interest of the audience, getting potential viewers excited about an upcoming film. Teaser trailers are typically released months in advances, sometimes as much as 18 months before the expected release date of the film, and they are used to build anticipation and curiosity about the films they advertise. These trailers can be seen before feature film in some movie theaters, and they are also released onlnie and shown on television.

Classically, a teaser trailer lasts between half a minute and a minute. It may include footage from the film, often in a rough stage since the film has not been completed, or it may use entirely new source material. In some cases, a teaser is simply an abridged version of a regular movie trailer, including the film's tagline and key footage in a condensed version that is more television-friendly.


One of the most viewed and best examples of a 2013 teaser trailer is 'Anchorman 2', http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ-JX-7B3uM , reaching over 7million views and only being 1 minute long. It also does not behold any footage from the film but is instead the first information and release to the audience of the confirmation of an 'Anchorman 2'.
