Greenscreening

     In my capstone, I wanted to utilize a green screen because a good green screen can increase the opportunities of a project.  While I was researching how to use a green screen and what are the important steps to make sure that a green screen can be used successfully, I learned quite a bit.  I learned that when you are working a green screen the most important things are lighting and the green screen itself.  A green screen needs to be well lit allowing little to know shadows and no wrinkles.  A clean tight green screen will allow editing to be easier and life will be less stressful.
     Onto the editing of a green screen.  Green screen editing is actually pretty easy after watching a few Youtube videos.  I really wanted to succeed with this green screen part of my capstone so I wanted to learn as much as I could through research.  The green screen I was using was not the best so the tips and tricks I learned to fix these issues were very important.  Using after effects, there are different effects like the lighting tools which tries to make the background all the same color making a more efficient way to put in layers for the green screen.  The learning how to use a green screen was very exciting for me and I would like to do more with this type of videoing editing.
