What is Chroma Key?

Chroma key is a technique for layering two images together. A color range in the top layer is made transparent, revealing another image behind. The chroma keying technique is commonly used in video production and post-production. This technique is also referred to as color keying, color-separation overlay, Green screen, and Blue screen.
This technique is also used in the entertainment industry, for example for special effects. Such as Pinnacle studio, which makes it possible and relatively easy for the average home computer user, to create videos using the Chroma key function and green screens.

Storyboard

as a group we did this story board to show how we will record our music video step by step.

Reviewing - A video created by BTEC students last year.

Narrative:                                                                                                                                         This music video is a Narrative music video.                                                                                        The sort of story that Eminem is trying to tell us is about his general life and how he got to this position.  It is also about if you get second opportunity in life and  if you get it not to let it go because you may never get it again.                                                                              


Type (Performance, Narrative, concept, mixed)
This music video is a mixed music video because it tells us a story behind it. It also tells us a meaning behind the scene which makes the audience to think. It also makes the viewer to think that what kind of message the artist is trying to tell us.


How well it follows conventions of hiphop music video: 
I think the video follows really good in concept of music videos that are around now days. It also works well with typical Hiphop's and RnB music videos.

     

                  Risk assessment

                  Risk assessment for each location 
                  A Risk Assessment is a systematic method of looking at work activities, considering what could go wrong, and deciding on suitable control measures to prevent loss, damage or injury in the workplace. The Assessment should include the controls required to eliminate, reduce or minimize the risks.

                  Possible Risks:
                  1) Falling Over Props 
                  2)slipping over a drink spillage
                  3)Tripping over a wire

                  5)not having a fire exit


                  How Will You Overcome These Risks? :

                  1) This could be avoided by checking that all props are in the right place and in the right position this is the job has to be done before the video.
                  2) This could be avoided by not allowing people(cast or crew) to bring drinks or food on set.
                  3) We could avoid
