Editing the Clone Shots

The clone shots are a very easy edit. The hardest thing with them is making sure the two shots are as similar as possible.

The first step is the 8 point garbage matte. This layer removes the image outside the mesh. This is then overlaid onto a another video with the similar background. Increasing the feather hides the edge between the two videos. A problem we were not able to get around completely is the feathering feathers the entire border an image, meaning there is

The last clone shot is different because it shows both Eve and Lucy, almost as parallels. Because Eyeline match was far more important in this BCU frame Stephen stood opposite Katy, who was told to directly ahead, equating to Stephen's chin. While for the word timing, I went through the lines of the opposite character to make sure Katy's timing was accurate for the shot. This was again in need of being extra accurate because this was going to be one single shot that ended up being 14 seconds long. The timing came out very well, Eve and Lucy are speaking over each other somewhat but this still works as it looks like they are actually bickering and interrupting each other. In this shot I had the option to hide the Garbage matte removing the need for feathering. A black PVC pipe is shot and aligning the matte's points with the darkest edge hides the difference in the two shots perfectly.
