Today, using a green screen, you're going to create a conversation that a person is having with him/herself.
- It should be about two minutes long.
- Your script (which you should write up in advance) should not only have a conversation but should explain why someone would be talking to himself.
- Maybe it's his concience.
- Maybe it's his 'future self" or his "past self."
- Maybe it's the good version of you arguing with the "cool" and radical version.
- Maybe it's some reason that has yet to occur to me yet is in remarkably good taste.
- You should rehearse your script so you can leave pauses in your film in which the "other person" can respond.
- If you don't do that, be prepared to do a lot more ediiting of you film to make it fit.
- One of the two versions of you should be filmed against a green screen and one against a regular wall or other background.
- Plan this out carefully so that both versions of you can fit in the frame without being on top of each other.
- You might consider filming a couple of ten second segments as a test of this.
- This project should be done in pairs (one filming and one conversing) so be sure to share the equipment with others when you don't need it yourself.
EvaluationTechnical Merit - Does it seem like there's two different people?
- Does the background of one person show through?
- Is one person slightly transparent?
Believability/Storyline - Does it look like two people having a conversation?
- Is there a reason for the discussion?
