10. Chroma Key and Green Screen Footage
What Is Green Screen and Chroma Keying?
Green Screen: Technically, this term refers to the colored
background you want to make transparent and remove from
your shot. This is usually a single colored backdrop, which can
be any color, but is usually bright green because it is the color
furthest away from human skin tones. (Blue screens were
frequently used in the early days with film, and might still be
used in certain cases.) Sometimes the term is used as a fit-all
for the entire process of keying

11. Continue…
Chroma Key: This popular term goes hand-in-hand with green screen.
It’s the actual technique of layering, or compositing two images based
on color hues. Every color has a chroma range, hence where the
terminology comes from.

12. Multimedia =Multi + Media
Multi- Several
Media- Tool, Mediator
Multi : many; much; multiple
Medium : An intervening substance through which
something is transmitted or carried on; A means of mass
communication such as a newspaper, magazine or TV.
The use of computers to present text, graphics, video,
animation, and sound in an integrated way.

13. DEFINITIONS
Audio: It means "of sound" or "of the
reproduction of sound".
Video: The recording, reproducing, or
broadcasting of moving visual images

14. Different Video Resolution

15. SIGNIFICANCE OF AUDIO & VISUAL
Capture & Sustain interest
Contribute to learning & retention
Audio is a medium to reach people with a
visual disability as well
Video and animation is a powerful medium to
interact with people

16. OBJECTIVES
Audio and video work involves the
 Scripting
 Recording,
 Manipulation and
 Editing
 Technical Preview
 Storage of Raw Data

17. MULTIMEDIA DEFINATION
Multimedia combines five basic types of media into
the learning environment:
Text,
Graphics
Sound
Video and
Animation
Thus providing a powerful new tool for education

18. MULTIMEDIA
In Multimedia we have five ways to express ourselves
 You can write it
 You can illustrate it
 You can animate it
 You can hear it
 You can interact with it
So you have multiple ways in which to put the whole thing.

19. CHARACTERSTICS OF MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM
It must be computer controlled.
Multimedia systems are integrated.
The information they handle must be represented
digitally.
The interface to the final presentation of media is
usually interactive

20. Components of a Multimedia System
Capture devices
Video Camera, Video Recorder, Keyboards,
microphone, 3D input devices etc.
Storage Devices
Hard disks, Memory Cards ,Storage Server etc
Communication Networks
Ethernet, FDDI(Fiber Distributed
Data Interface), Intranets, Internets.
Computer Systems
Multimedia Desktop machines, Workstations,
Display Devices
speakers, monitors, Colour printers,
mobiles, etc.

21. STAGES OF PRODUCTION
Three Stages of Production– Pre-Production Production and
Post-Production
Pre-Production
Scripting & Storyboard – The pre-production phase of a project
is where all the planning takes place before the camera rolls.
Whether its measured in minutes, hours or days, this planning
phase sets the overall vision of the project. Pre-production also
includes working out the shoot location and casting. You’re in
pre-production mode the moment you start writing down a few
points to cover in a video even if it is a short piece made for a
blog. As your projects become more ambitious you can start to
storyboard the project. Storyboards can really smooth out the
post-production process when it’s time for editing. This will
really be useful if there are multiple people working on the
project.

Production
Production begins once the footage is recorded. This process will capture all the
scenes and information captured in the pre-production process. During the
production process you apply various the lighting requirements, framing and
work on composition. Some projects will also shoot B-Roll during the
production process. B-Roll is supplementary footage that can be included in the
finished product.
Post-Production
The post production process begins after all the footage has been
captured. This is actually one of my favorite parts of the video making process.
Graphics can be added along with images, music, color correction and special
effects. If you are producing your own video content there will be a bit of a
learning curve at first, but it will be really rewarding. Post-production is like
putting the last coat of paint on in a room and it will be well worth the time to
learn the basics. This is where your video project will really come to life.
