1. Chromakey Effect
I filmed most of my scenes in front of a green
screen, meaning I'd have to chromakey a
background onto the footage that I collected. I did
this by:
Selecting the chosen footage, and opening
it on Adobe After Effects. Then going onto
the 'Effects' search bar, I typed in 'Keylight'
and dragged the effect over to the effects
panel for the footage that I imported.
'View'> 'Intermediate Result'
Then selecting the 'Screen Colour' using
the colour picker, and clicking on the green
screen background, which gets rid of the
green background.

2. Changing the 'View'> 'Screen Matte';
this changes the footage so you can
see the darks and lights of the image.
By using 'Clip Black' and 'Clip White' I
can adjust the whites and the blacks
that are present in the footage. Once
there are no greys in the image, the
whites and blacks are flat I can then
change the 'View'> 'Final Result',
showing what the actual footage
looks like. If there are any edges that
still appear green, then you can use
the ‘Spill Suppresor' (found in effects)
and simply select the colour that you
want to use with the colour picking
tool and it will automatically get rid
of the green edges.

3. Once the green screen has
been removed, you can add
an image that you want to the
footage, and using the
‘Anchor Point’ and ‘Position’,
you can adjust the image so
the footage looks realistic.
