Seven Nation Army - White Stripes

We chose a year 8 band who performed seven nation army by White Stripes. To begin with, we recorded the audio, and then filming each member of the band individually on a green screen.

We were assigned a music instrument to edit and to duplicate the Seven Nation Army music video.

In the video, there are black, red and white triangles with the members of the band attached and infront of them. We began in Final Cut and imported all the footage we had taken. From here we applied the keyer to the footage enabling us to achieve a black background making it translucent. I then checked the 'matte' and made sure that the lines were smooth, I then went into the colour section and increased the Chroma Roll Off, increasing it to 86%. This changed the number of intermediate pixels in between the band member and the transparent background.

I then added the threshold in the basic filter. For the lightest colours I brought down green and blue and kept red as the original lightness, achieving a cold effect. By doing this the colours also match the SIAN colour of the original music video. Then by increasing the intensity of the SIAN shade so the colours were intensified.

In the threshold I created a colour mask and selected the colour of red on the footage so that it would show colour on just the section instead SIAN on the whole of the footage.

Because I had issues with not only the parts that I wanted to bring red (the tie and guitar) but the bassists hand and hair turned red as well therefore I added another mask called a shape mask.
