Green Screen! The Avatar Way of Thinking!

Pictures tell a lifetime of stories, they give us a view of the past and strengthen the memories we may have lost or forgotten. Many pictures allow us to reach back into our minds and relive those moments. This is exactly what we have tried to illustrate, by showing several shots of moving photos dotted around the room where we filmed. These photos showing our main character with the stories lost love, using several shots we filmed in the summer, they portray how vibrant and full of life his past was. Bathed in the dull glow of his ragged and untidy bedroom, depicting our main character as depressed, showing him remembering his past as a relief from the life he lives. So we aimed to attack the veiwer with subtle and cleverly placed shots of memories, i used this by filming these shots with the piocture frames coated with green card. This created the well known 'Green Screen' effect, where i could edit the film on Final Cut Pro and render a small movie within the confines of the picture frame. I used this many times throughout the film as i tried to fully portray the extent of his mourning for a past love
