3 Task+Rotation

In this session, you will be given 3 tasks that groups will rotate through.

In groups of 3 or 4, you will have 20 minutes to complete each of the following tasks

Each student in the group will film a green screen scene. Your footage must fit the background video provided in the handout folder. Your teacher will walk you through this section once it's complete. You will be taking 2 green screen videos... your teacher will give you more info once you've reached this stage.
 * 1. THE GREEN SCREEN TASK**

Using the DSLR, a Rhode Microphone and the Zoom H2n Boom mic, you will shoot some test footage to test the abilities of both microphones. Make sure that the camera microphone is turned on and that you are recording from both sources at the same time. Your task is to edit footage to CLEARLY demonstrate the quality of each of the microphones. You can also learn to SYNCHRONIZE footage shot between two separate audio sources.
 * 2. THE AUDIO TASK**
 * 1) Get a camera and the 2 microphones from Mr. Hughes
 * 2) Take a variety of shots using both audio sources. Make sure that the boom mic is not in the shot and that you have some indication of when the shot begins. This will help you sync the audio (think of a movie clacker or a director saying action). Get the following shots
 * A Close up
 * A Mid Shot
 * A Long Shot
 * A Two Shot
 * A Wide Shot
 * A mid shot and long shot outside
 * 1) Assemble the shots in the proper order and add titles for which audio source we are currently viewing (what this using the Rhode or the H2n)
 * 2) Trim and match the clips so that they synchronize with each other
 * 3) Adjust the sound levels on each track to optimize both the audio and the video for each test. Make sure that one audio source is not louder than the other

Using the digital camera and a tripod, film yourself in different parts of the scene. Try as much as possible to not overlap with other places that you have already filmed yourself in. Make sure that your background stays consistent, don't have anything that may change over time (images on a tv, people walking sunlight, etc...). Pointing toward the brick wall in the foyer or the stage in the caf would be good examples of backgrounds you can use. Divide your scene up to ensure that you do not overlap and be sure to get a shot of the background with no subject in the shot. Shoot the background only for approximately 30 seconds. See the image below as an example.
 * 3. THE "I'M EVERYWHERE" TASK **
