Does the size of your room Matter? YES it does!!! The bigger or the more space you have the better  You need space between the camera and the model  Because you need to keep your model as far away as possible from the green screen to avoid shadows  You need space to focus the lights on the model and the green screen

Types of lights to be usedThere are a number of lights; Categorized as Soft lights andwarm lights. Fluorescents and LED lights are soft and continuous.

How to Get StartedSet up your filming area with adequate lighting for yourcamcorder.Arrange lighting with 3 lights or 5 lights (the green backgroundshould be evenly lit with your lights set at a 45 And 90 degreeangle from the screen). They should be far enough so they dontcause hot spots.Make sure that your model, is minimum of 5 away from thescreen. Your talent should be lit by the third light in such away that no shadow is cast upon the background.

Film 10 seconds or more of your green background without themodel in the frame. This will be used to get a "clean" key withthe software laterMove your talent into the desired position and start shooting.If you are going to use live audio have a good lavalieremicrophone attached to the talents clothing, far enoughaway from the talent so that his breathing is not captured.

Depending on whether you are after a full body shot orhalf a body shot or a seated shot, position yourcamcorder far enough from the talent to attain thedesired view.
