Proposal

We were told as a group of three (Me, Abbi and Leah) to make a short clip involving a green screen that would last 30-45 seconds roughly. 

A green screen is a backdrop made from green material that is then modified using different software to replace anything that is the same colour green as the backdrop with a still or moving image. It works much like how the Transparent background works on Photoshop. The background is changeable and can be modified while the image in front of the background won't be effected.

A lot of films use this technique. The Harry Potter film series and Alice in Wonderland are popular examples of films that use green screen in order to achieve better effects.

When coming up with an idea for our group green screen, we took inconsideration what would be simple and easy to get props for but as well as entertaining. So we decided to film a Pokemon battle. Abbi could easily provide the props needed, Leah could act and I could film. 

It will feature the two girls holding out Pokeballs (see picture at the bottom) which will then summon the Pokemon. At the end, it will show the winning Pokemon. These are the scenes that will involve a green screen. When editing, we will replace the green screen with images from a real Pokemon game battle as well as add effects such as lightning bolts and various light effects. To make the battle seem more like the game, we will include GIF's of the two Pokemon fighting. This will also help us make the short clip last up to the 40 seconds mark. 
All of the sound will be non diegetic as we will replace the sound with Pokemon battle music and lightning sound effects to make the clip seem more dramatic. 
Majority of the camera shots will be over the shoulder shots while the others will be either midshots or extreme close ups.

For props, we will need the following:

• Anything Pokemon related (clothing etc)
• Pokemon teddies  (to use for the battle)
• Pokeballs (to 'summon' the Pokemon)
