Museum of the Moving Image

Well, when i first got into the Museum i was amazed at how much my projected field has progressed since the first camera was invented. I had the chance to partake in multiple demonstrations of how the motion picture industry and the items used to produce a quality film have progressed through the decades. The one demonstration that i was quite fond of and that i felt had the greatest impact on film is the green-screen demonstration. Green screen has made it so much easier for films to be shot, if a director is not able to get on site location for his or her film ,they are able to shoot it in front of a lime green screen, and green screen the actors into the site that is needed for the shot. Green screening is capable due to the cameras ability to not pick up a green background therefore giving the editor (soon to be me!) room to work in post production. Green Screening or also known as chroma key is used in multiple films now, therefore making it more cost efficient and easier to use. Personally i have great experience with all aspects of film making and editing, but green screening and editing intrigue me, one being that i am extremely talented with my editing capabilities, and two that it is the most fun to make something come to life when you are given a bunch of nothing shots. Editing i believe might be the most important part of film making due to the fact that it is where all of the nuts and bolts are worked out, making the film come together and look like an actual peice of work.
