Greenscreen Workshop

A green screen is literally a green screen that is used for filming. In computer programs, a green screen can be edited out, and replaced with a background or media. In Adobe Premiere Pro or Adobe AfterEffects, the background can be faded with the "Keylight" feature.

It is a very bad idea to wear green when filming on a green screen. If you do this, you will fade into the background and only become a floating head. There should also be lighting from every angle to ensure that there are no shadows. If there is an uneven color on the background of the screen, it creates problems when trying to fade the green to back.

As stated above, if you wear green clothing when filming with a green screen, the effect is a floating head in the inserted background. Also, if there is a shadow on rthe green screen, the shadow will not fade very well into the background.

Between AfterEffects and PremierePro, Adobe After Effects was most helpful. It was easier to navigate and everything was straight forward. Premiere Pro causes too many things to be going on at once in one program, similar to thought-overload. Plus, in After Effects it was easier to mve the background and film-position.

At first, editing with green screens is very tedious, but as time goes on, I become more used to using the programs. It is a very interesting concept to learn from. I look forward to working more with green screens.
