Last week, I had the opportunity to get in front of a green screen (chroma key). Before class I was suppose to select a video from youtube and figure out a clever way to include myself in the video. I selected a Toys R Us video. While this was playing, I was going to talk about two particular toys. Well that didn't go over as well I thought it would. I selected the wrong video and my script was too wordy. I decided to scrap that idea. So instead I decided to film myself holding a toy instead. This worked out. I mean it was less work but I think it fit the scene better.
After taking the video, we had to edit and apply the green screen clip to the youtube video. The green screen clip had to be dragged over of the youtube video. After completing this step, I noticed the color from both videos did not match. It was distracting. I tried adjusting the color of the video and myself but just could not get it to match. This was kind of bothersome.
My experience using the green screen was a lot of fun. This was a new experience for me. I can definitely see myself implementing this in the classroom now that I know I can use any background as long as it is a solid color. This project alone has open to door wide for multiple educational uses in the classroom. I thought the process of making a video using a green screen was hard but I now know it is not. I really enjoyed this project.
