In this assignment we had to make a green screen effect in our short film. We did this in one of our lessons in groups of 3-4. We had to go to a special filming room where the green screen was already set up. We had to watch other groups and later we were shooting our film. The good thing was that all of the class did it in one lesson. At the start we did research on green screen and we came up with famous films such as "Men Of Steel" and "Star Wars." My initial idea was to replicate Harry Potter film because we went to "Warner Bros Studio" where Harry Potter was filmed. I was the model in my short film and I had the role of Harry Potter, my friend had a role too and his was to be Death Eater (Villain) from Harry Potter. In the film room we had to shoot on green screen which means we had to stand in the middle and we could not move away from the green background (green screen).
After the first filming lesson we had to edit our films and my group decided to split in a group of 2 and we used Adobe Premiere for our film editing. Our teacher told us how to use green screen in the editing lesson. It was hard to edit our films because we couldn't find a good background. I spent about 3 lessons with my friend to edit the film and we mainly looked for backgrounds and sounds. Later I wanted to edit our film myself but we had less time. Thanks to my teacher she gave me permission to edit my own film. The only things I changed were an intro and soundtrack.

This is the link of my soundtrack which I converted from a video to MP3 soundtrack
When I was editing my film I was taking pictures of the steps that I was doing to edit my green screen background. At the end I uploaded my video on YouTube.

The problems I faced were time management and understanding Adobe Premiere but to resolve them I will work at home and take notes down for the film editing software.
In future to make this assignment better I will research on green screen and find good examples of green screen.
