CONSTRUCTION: PLANE CONVERSATION

Involved in the construction of this scene was the process of building the green screen. We also used an Ipad with the application Green Screen by Do Ink to insert a background of the outside of a plane. We used live action filming in this scene and the actor in this scene acted as the father towards the teenagers who are the main characters in our trailer.
This was the way we set up the green screen, we had the actor in frame on the Ipad with the application that rendered the image onto the green screen.

For the second layer we used an image of plane windows with the windows being a green screen so that we could put our own video of the outside of an aeroplane onto the green screens of the window.

The live footage of a birds eye view of London was taken from a British Airways flight this year that shows iconic London buildings like Tower Bridge as well as the hugely recognisable River Thames

This is how we set up the green screen alongside the Ipad with a tripod so that the frame was straight whlst we filmed the scene.



Then we used our actor for this scene, made his upper body in the frame, filmed him doing his lines and that was the end of the scene. This is how it turned out, with the moving image you can see the different environment moving in the windows of the plane. This meant that there were three different layers when filming this scene, the first layer being the live action actor. The second layer being the frames of the aeroplane windows, and then the third layer being our own filming from the outside of an aeroplane.

  1. A lucid account of a really excellent shoot: your use of new technologies is developing very well. This shoot involved three layers and careful planning. The result is a convincing simulation of a mid-air phone conversation with the anxious father looking out over London.
