Me (Stephen Wells) in front of the giant green wall ready to be transported to paradise. Me and the whole Electronic media production class use the green screen effect to video edited ourselves on to another photo image. 

 you can superimpose your subjects onto virtual backgrounds, place them over animated digital backdrops or transport them to a desert oasis. You can shrink down a full-grown man so he can stand on a tabletop, use visual effects to make him fly through the sky like a superhero or simply simulate your own TV weather report.

Keying is the process of isolating a single color or brightness value in an electronic image and using software to make that value transparent, allowing another image to show through the affected areas. Luminance keying, Color keying, or chromakeying, identifies a specific color to remove.

The green screen effect is most popular in the news weather stations around the world. In my Electronic Media Production class we had some fun using the technique to place ourselves anywhere we wanted to be.
