Green Screen

We have all seen the movies where the magic of special effects and technology allows directors to superimpose their actors onto virtual backgrounds, place them over animated digital backdrops or transport them to a previously filmed location.

Now we can do the same in the classroom, this allows students to create presentations/ movies where they are placed in a foreign place or time.

On the iPads:

1. First you need to download the Green Screen App: $3.79

This does not need to be installed on all iPads, as most schools only have one green screen( although a piece of material or cardboard pinned to a pin up board will work fine), a nominated iPad or Teachers device would work perfectly. 

2. Next step is to download an image or take footage for the background. 

3. Set up the iPad so that the Green material covers the whole screen (we used a beaker stand from the science room as a stand.)

4. In the top Line add your background image, in the middle line add your Green screen footage. 

5. Once you have filmed and checked your footage you can export it to the camera roll. Once it is in  the camera roll you are able to add it to iMovie and create titles and headings.
