During Ace Week (activities week at school) me and another student were asked to make a video for use in a democracy activity the following week. We had to create a news broadcast about North Korea testing a nuclear weapon. This involved us setting up the green screen and filming in front of it. Once we had filmed in front of the green screen, we had to import the footage into Final Cut Express, then take out the green background and replace it with an image of the BBC logo. This at first was quite time consuming however once we knew what we were doing, it was much easier. We had to use the Chroma Keyer to get rid of the green before replacing the background with an image.
During the week we also learnt how to record and edit a voice over using a microphone and the program Audacity. This was a really useful process to learn as I may need to use it in my work next year. As the subject of the video was Korea, it was impossible for us to get our own footage. To get some footage we found the clips which we wanted on YouTube, and used the program Screenflow to record it. This meant that we could then go on to crop it and it would appear as a normal video. I had not used Screenflow very much before so found this activity really useful.
