Most importantly, the camera itself should not move (unless this movement is intentional and programmed on a motion-control rig) – so avoid bumping the camera at all costs! 3. Try to eliminate them from the shot or isolate them to one area of the frame. Look out for moving elements like clouds, shadows, clock hands and cars. The more objects move in a frame, the harder it will be to create a seamless mask. You can compensate for changes in light by adjusting the camera’s exposure settings, but fiddling with that too much is not ideal so you’ll want to move quickly while on set to avoid major changes in the lighting conditions from shot to shot. When shooting outdoors, the light will change as the sun moves through the sky or as clouds pass overhead. There are three main variables to look out for to maintain continuity. To make your mask seamless, you need to make sure that everything looks pretty much the same in your plate and in the shot with the Later, you’ll use a portion of the frame from your plate to cover up your equipment and crew. You can shoot your plate before or after you shoot the primary components of the scene – just make sure that you get that plate shot too!
In 360 video, you’ll want to remove the crew and equipment from that shot as well. A plate is filmmaking lingo for a shot of your scene without the actors in it. The most important thing to remember is that you’ve gotta shoot a plate.
While on location, prepping a scene that you plan to mask later is super important and will require more brain power than the actual, technical masking process in post-production. With masking, this is no longer an issue and fortunately for us masking a video in Premiere is a relatively easy trick. Well, sometimes it helps to light a person’s face and a boom mic can achieve superior results a lot of the time, especially if the lavalier mic falls down the shirt.
To make matters worse, I was so scared of getting film equipment in the 360 video shot that I’d only use natural or ambient light instead of putting a light on a light stand or I’d only use a lavalier mic instead of a boom mic. I can’t hear the performer and I certainly can’t conduct an interview. Of course, while hiding I can’t see what I’m shooting in-person. I’d hit record and waste a bunch of precious battery life and media card storage while running to go hide. I’d even let my ability to hide from the camera dictate where I position the camera. When I first started shooting 360 videos I was really worried about being in the shot. Video “masks” are composed of video clips or graphics that cover a portion of the original video clip Masks are used all the time, take many forms and work best when the mask is seamless and the audience doesn’t notice that any video masking is being used in the first place.
