Green screens

When we first thought of the idea of our media studies project we knew straight away that we would need to acquire green screens. After realising that to rent green screens in Northern Ireland was almost impossible and that we have to build our own green screens.
To build our green screens we first created a plan and blueprints of how to support the green screens. After we created these prints and ideas we got purchasing all the components to build our green screens.

After we bought the green screen material we bought the wood to stand up the green paper. After realising that the wooden poles alone couldn't keep the paper from creasing we set about getting other materials and wood to make a frame in which to hold the poles and green screens.
After we had drawn up plans for the complete frames we set about building our green screen frames. We did this in the technology workshops in school, we knew would need three completed frames with spare boards and poles in case we suffered any problems.

After we had built the poles to hold the green screens we needed to complete the frames. However we would be filming using the green screens in the school hall. So this in mind we knew would not be able to transport the completed frames around as they would be too large (2.75mx3m) and would need to be completed in the school hall. 

After we had built all the frames to house the green screens we set about making the screens. The way in which we had to do this set each of the green screen frames down upon the ground, get the roll of green canvas paper we bought and staple each 3mX2.75m sheet onto the frame which housed it. This took several hours of careful work as we couldn't mess up one of the sheets as all the paper was vital and in high demand.

After the building three complete green screens it was all set up for filming purposes.

After we left the three screens in place, the next day we returned to check on them, it hasd been clear that the three green screens had been moved several times around the stage and had be ripped and torn. 

After this set back we went about mending the green screens. There was serious doubt about two but after careful work we patched up the serious rip on one green screen, smoothed out the creases and wrinkles in another and simply the final screen more sucre in the frame by screwing in screws into the frame and canvas paper. And over lapping the large rips on the green screens, we patched them all up.
