Green Screen for Video & Photography

Green Screen for Video & Photography

Instead of scouting and shooting on location—you can digitally recreate the background of your scene. This course takes you through the steps of shooting both photography and video on green screen. Your instructors provide an overview of preparing a live action set, from hanging the backdrop to lighting the subject with strobes; positioning and posing your subject; and post-production techniques in Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro. Learn how to composite your footage against a new digital background plate, match the color and exposure, adjust focus, and perform keying for motion.
