This document discusses the use of green screen techniques in music videos. It provides several examples of how green screen was used to create certain effects: 1) For Beyonce's "Countdown" video, green screen was used to layer shots of her hands in different positions to make it seem like she was counting down. 2) Also in "Countdown", Beyonce was duplicated and placed in different colored outfits on an orange background to represent her emotions. 3) Brightly colored backgrounds were used with green screen in other shots to make the video seem happy and enjoyable.

2. Beyonce- Countdown

3. In this shot they have used green
screen and they’ve used it by
layer many different thing of what
Beyonce doing with the hands to
create the effect that the shot
goes with the narrative of the
video as the song is called count
down and when she has her
hands up her fingers are used like
in some of the picture she got 10
up or she got 4 and they have
done that to make it look like she
is counting down so that the shot
goes with the narrative of the
music video.

4. They have used green screen
here by putting an orange
background on top of the
green screen and then
layering it by putting 4 of
Beyonce next to one another
in different coloured outfits.
This create an effect of her
emotions as they have used
quite bright colours which
makes the audience feel that
it is a happy video.

5. They have used green screen in this part they done it by putting a layer on top of
the green screen and changing the background colour the adding another layer
by putting Beyonce over the top of it wearing the same colour outfit to blend in
with the background they used various different colour backgrounds as you can
see in the picture below. This creates and effect of how she's feeling as they have
used bright colours which makes the audience feel happy and make enjoyable to
watch as it doesn't have dull colours in it.

7. Where they have used green screen here
is by doing the layering again by where
the put various shots of Beyonce up so
that again the narrative can go with the
story by the way that they have put the
pictures in order of her counting down
this make the audience wonder when
they look at that shot and make them
think why is she counting down what's
going to happen when it get to 0.

8. Christina Perri- Jar of hearts

9. I think the reason that they have
used green screen here and made
it look as if she sitting on the stairs
is to make the background go with
the lyrics as the song is quite
depressing and they've made her
sit on the steps and have a dark
dull background with the brick wall
behind it to give it that effect and
to make the audience feel sad and
to go with the lyrics as its a
depressing song.

10. They have used green screen here where
they have got the Smokey background
and the car next to her they have done
this to make the audience feel that
something is going on and that the place
has been abandoned because of the way
that the car has been smashed up and
there's no-one about and they way the
background on top of the green screen is
that its foggy and dark.

11. They have used green screen
here to make a very dark and
depressing background as there
are people fighting in the
middle and they have also used
to smoke to create an effect.
They have used green screen
here to create the effect of her
emotions as you can tell that
she feels angry and said by the
background as the colours are
dark and the smoke in the
background.

12. They have used green screen in
this shot because when she is
singing she gets very loud and
powerful and they have changed it
to a very bright white background
to make the audience feel that she
seems very powerful when the
background goes very bright, and
they have used it to create her
emotions and what she is feeling.

13. They’ve used green screen
here to show that when she
has killed the bad person
they have changed the colour
of the background and made
it brighter to give that effect
that you know that the bad
person has going and its all
good again.
