Green Screen Practice



In order to get some technical practice, as a class we set up the green screen and filmed a performance with 3 individual cameras. From this experience with the green screen, I have learnt:


  • To give enough time to both pack away and set up the green screen, as it requires quite a lot of time to put everything up and away properly. 
  • The green screen must be set out so that there are no creases - any darker parts or shadows on the screen and this will be hard during editing to match up with the background, which can be seen in the practice video which I created.
  • In order to reduce any shadows, artificial lighting must be set up in particular areas around the screen, however with diffusers as to not create harsh, high key lighting.
  • Multiple cameras filming at the same time helps to reduce filming time and can get the images needed to create a short video, seen in this video which we used 3 cameras set up at different angles to the performers.
