Green Screen Testing



As a class we decided to test filming in a green screen studio. We did this to practise our skills in front of and behind the camera and also to get more understanding of how to film with green screens convincingly. Some of us already had some experience with using green screen but not in a professional studio. Previously we had to paste an image onto the green backdrop manually using the chroma key tool in Adobe Premier Pro but in the studio we used computers which did this automatically.
When filming with green screens we learnt that it is important to keep the camera still, otherwise it looks like the object in front of the camera is flying around. We also found out that getting the object the right size in relation to the background is vital for the shot to look realistic, this can be done by zooming the camera in or out, or moving it closer or further away.
