Music

I was also given the position to get the music in order for the informercial.
I started off by searching for some Royalty free music.
I came across 3 potential pieces but decided to try and make my own backing track just incase.
I opened garage band and then had a browse for some loops to put together. I didn't want the music to be to over powering.
I put a drum beat down then found a soft synth to go on top

Keying

I was given the job of keying for the footage with the green screen.
I went about this by importing the footage into Premiere Pro then added the effect "Ultra Key".
Using the eye dropper tool i selected the green background behind the person in the footage.  Then I started tweaking the settings until I had no green in the background then removed the spill on the subject.
Once I had completed all of the clips I added a white matt background on the layer below the subjects.
I then put all the footage in order in the timeline then exported the sequence. It was then given to Jess and Harrison who would then start the animation

Presentation Day

Today is the day we present our projects. We are getting our powerpoint presentation together at the moment. Everything has come together quite nicely.
