Changing of plan with the Green Screen

Filming Day 1 Dilema

Over Christmas we had a day of filming our advert, but found a major problem. At first we were planning on using the green screen as our background, but as we were filming we found that it was just not big enough to deal with the demands of some of the shots we wanted. The shots where we would be diving around a throwing coffee, we found the green screen wasn’t going to be big enough to cover the shot and left gaps in the background where you could see the room we were in. This meant that we could no longer rely on the green screen as our setting and also meant the days filming went to waste.

After a group discussion we decided that we would have the gym itself as the setting, but clear it out to make it appear like a giant lab. This would make the filming a lot easier because we didn’t have to worry about gaps with the green screen and it made the editing easier as well.
