Editing

Once we had finally done all of the filming with the green screen and got it how we wanted, we had to edit the footage together. What we wanted to do was have the main protagonist be on the screen four times at once holding up cards that say Oh Me Oh My, he would appear on the left first, and then three more times to the right.

To do this we took the green screen footage of the protagonist (Jacob) holding the card on the left, we cropped the green screen footage around Jacob to reduce the amount of shadows around, we then put this on top of a background that we had already filmed and saved it.

We opened this up in another project, this makes the green screen clip one shot. We then put the footage of Jacob standing slightly to the right on top of this clip, we repeated this process two more times until we had Jacob in the shot four times holding the cards, lip syncing the lyrics.

I think the outcome was mostly positive, we got Jacob in the shot four times lip syncing the lyrics. There were a few problems with the quality of the shot though, we didn't think it was that clear and looks slightly distorted. We don't think it was a problem with our work, we just think it was because we were limited with the amount of technology we had to make it look professional.
