We decided to use a year 8 band and have them sing The White Stripes' 'Seven Nation Army'. We initially recorded them singing and got clear audio from it. We then filmed each member of the band miming to the soundtrack in front of a green screen. We were each assigned a member of the band to edit and to replicate the famous 'Seven Nation Army' music video.
Throughout the video, it is extremely noticeable that there are triangles coming from background to foreground in the colour order of: black, red, then white triangles. The band members are also layered in front of the triangles at all times.
We started by importing the footage into Final Cut Pro and then applying a keyer to all the footage which allowed us to remove the background and make it transparent and there for making the footage into a video version of a .png file. Then we checked the matte and made sure all the lines were smooth, then going into colour selection we the Chroma Roll Off. This changed how many intermedial pixels were in-between the band member and the transparent background.
I then added the threshold in the basic filter section. I brought down the green and blue and kept red as the original colour. I did this so the colouring would match the cool cyan colour of the original music video. I then increased the intensity of the cyan shade so that the colours were intensified slightly. Then, using threshold I created a colour mask and selected the colour of red on the footage so that it would show colour on just that section instead of the cyan filter that is on the rest of the footage. Because I had issues with the movements and colours of the footage, not just the guitar and tie were red. Instead his hand and hair started turning red in places. Therefore, I decided to add a shape mask. This mask made sure that the threshold only applied to the the places inside this shape.
