Green Screen...Yes? Or No?

For our trailer, we had the idea of creating a news report scene whereby,  one of our actors would inform the audience of the storyline (Clown). Since Last year we have become much more comfortable when using Adobe Premiere which entitles us to edit our trailer successfully and hopefully produce the best outcome. The green screen would be useful when creating the news report as it would allow us to place different imagery in the background and storylines running along the bottom of the screen. This would make our trailer come across as much more reliable, interesting and tense. 

If we use the green screen, we want to make it look like a news room studio. This will make the audience feel much more on edge as well as looking real and engaging. We will use Adobe Premiere elements as it allows us to play around with different types of backgrounds and get the perfect result. Myself, and others have already had a trial at this editing technique requiring us to use the crop tool, rotate tool, decrease and enlarger tool to get the ideal fit. 

For Mise en scene, the location for a news report is in a studio which is why we edit the background. The dress code is particularly formal which includes suits, ties, dresses and blazers. We thought using our teacher would be effective as he is older, more serious and dressed appropriately. The news is very important as it informs viewers of the events occurring all around the world, this implies it's a very serious subject whereby the presenter must appear authoritative and formal.The correct lighting is also inevitable when editing the background and making the report look real and significant. 
We used a fairly close up shot as we want the actor to stand out among the edited background we place over the green screen. It also appears more serious when its close up as audiences connect with the character more than if he was far away (long shot). 

We planned a script for our actor as we wanted it to be quite 'short and snappy' to emphasise the storyline as well as grab the audience attention.  We wanted to include where the source was from (MET Police), location and the main character in which our trailer is based upon. When recording our actor changed the lines slightly to make it shorter and more sufficient. However, I feel it is successful when drawing in the viewers and explaining the events which occur in our trailer.
