This edit workshop with Ferg was primarily based on Keying, now this is something new to me which i'd never heard of until this point. But I was keen to experiment and soak in what was being presented to us.
So we started with looking at Keylight to key the news anchor footage onto a newsroom environment. This involved picking the green colour on the screen from the green screen - the software then removes everything that colour from the clip. Then had a little mess around with changing levels to see what worked best, what didn't, and found that even when the background appears to be a solid colour, it is still easy for shadows and alterations in light to come through.
Then after Keylight, we looked into Luma keying, which kind of differs from Chroma key, as it makes the video transparent based on brightness rather than colour. This is extremely useful with graphics, so we played around with editing text onto a background.
Overall I found the workshop to be creatively satisfying, giving me knowledge on such vital tools that are going to be incorporated into my work in the future. I can now apply these new learn skills into this project and hopefully with a positive outcome.
