The Wild Dream Raw Montage

This is the raw preliminary video that my colleague Iulio and I created. He worked more for the research and planning and I work more for the editing part. Overall I think both of us put an equal amount of work in.

Regarding my part, I film the second part from the video, which is recorded in the cabin and edited the video video the help of Iulio. This raw video was edited in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. During the montage I have take some screenshots in order to shove my editing progress better.

For me, the most challenging part was working with the green screen. In our mind we wanted to create a portal in which the character could enter and then get to his bedroom. The best place where we would put the "portal" was in the forest. W e have used a thin transparent rope to hang the green screen and the recorder straight away. Only now starts what was really challenging for me. To put Iulio's bedroom video in the green screen. I didn't really have any idea how to do this, so I searched on YouTube for a tutorial. After watching the tutorial I have used the Color Key effect which didn't make the whole green screen black because the material was not even had had shadows on in. But with a little bit of imagination I used the color key more times and turned out to look pretty good.

The second most challenging thing for me was to use an engaging song which would be long enough to put in the video, but also if I would cut it and repeat it, not to sound weird. Therefore I chosen the song Pursuit of Happiness, which I have taken in for YouTube. As it was a music video and I only needed the music, I have unlinked the music and then cut the part with words, leaving only the beat.
