Green Screen Workshop Reflection

The green screen is a tool that can create the effect of virtually any desired background or location while stationed in one constant location. Important considerations in filming with a green screen include: standing in a consistent position, wearing proper colors that will stand out against the screen as opposed to blending in with the background, and creating a bright light facing toward the screen to create a clear image of the subject in contrast with the screen. Problems that can arise when trying to eliminate a green screen background include: shadows, green clothing, and a radioactive layer of green surrounding the subject. Premiere Pro was easier for me to use, however, After Effects produced a higher quality video due to the elimination of variation of green due the shadow.
