In this lesson, we have to create 3 videos. The 3 videos names are 1) Basic keying and Transparency, 2) Colorkey (KeyLight), 3) Shooting. In this lesson, we will keep using the Keylight(1.2) effect. Keylight(1.2) is used for green or blue screen.
For the first video, Basic keying and Transparency - it make use of green screen to change the background to another image. We use the video of Tino Fall then we click on Effect-> Keying -> Keylight(1.2). From there, we pick out the green screen color by using screen color at the side left panel and click on the green screen. Next, turn on the transparent switch so that the green screen will now be transparent looking. As the green screen changed to the transparent screen, it is still not smooth so to make it smoother, we can just adjust the clip black, clip white and screen gain. Then, we mask the select image that we want by double clicking the pen tool and draw out the shape that will include the image you want. In this video, as there is a guy moving around so in different timeframe, we have to change the shape of the mask so that it can cover all the area we want to show. Remember to keyframe each of the mask path! Also, by selecting the selected areas we want to show, we also remove the unwanted background/areas. Now, we will just have to add in the explosion action and the background image - cloud by dragging the file below Tino Fall layer and we are done with this video! This video is quite simple and manageable! ^^
For the second video, Colorkey (KeyLight), it will be a further add on of our first video, everything is almost the same but just replacing the explosion to ink drip. Create a new solid layer by clicking on Layer-> New-> Solid and select black color. Create a another new solid layer by clicking on Layer-> New-> Solid and select green color. Place the black solid at the lowest and the green solid above the black solid and the Tino Fall above it. For the green solid layer set it to Alpha Matte so now the person will be green color and the background will be black color. Then, we add in the ink drip file and set the background image - Cloud to Luma Matte "ink drip" so that when we turn on the transparency, anything in white of the ink drip will shows through and anything in black will turn transparent. Finally it's done! This video is slightly harder than the first video, as we add in more techniques which is like a lot of techniques adding on together which is quite confusing!
The last video, Shooting, it is also quite similar to the above two video, using the same techniques. We also use the pen tool and mask out the character. We just change the background to another image - Alley. At this point of time, we realised that it is not realistic. Mainly is because of the lighting of the shooter and the alley. Hence, we change the lighting of the shooter and the alley, to make it more realistic and believable. We also added an effect for the shooter so that when he shoots, the muzzle flashes which also aims to make the video look more realistic as it is suppose to look in this way in real life.
Finally, we are done with the 3 videos. During the lesson, I found it hard to catch up as because the restrict of time, the teacher have to rush through all the 3 videos so when I got home, I watched the video links given in Olive and it helped me to understand this exercise better. During class, I was quite confused with all the various technique but when I am watching the video tutorial, I am able to work in my own speed and found out that actually this exercise is quite simple!
