Green Screen Production at Southampton Solent Skillset Media Academy

Green Screen Production at Southampton Solent Skillset Media Academy

The recently delivered Green Screen Production course at Southampton Solent Skillset Media Academy was designed to enable participants to address the skills gaps created by advances in digital video production.

Aimed at existing media professionals – producers, directors, designers, developers and video journalists – this course provided participants with the opportunity to advance their knowledge in green screen chroma key, whilst using state-of-the-art TV studio and post-production units.

Like all Build your own MA courses, this course was designed to minimise time away from work and therefore consisted of two days of face-to-face training delivered over consecutive Saturdays, followed by a period of online tuition culminating in the award of 10 postgraduate credits.

The course was designed and delivered by Tony Wade, Senior Lecturer for Southampton Solent University’s Faculty of Technology. Previously Tony has worked as Technical Manager for Location Production at ITV and as a BBC-Accredited Technical Trainer. Tony also regularly provides technical and production training courses for Sky and Arqiva.  

Having completed this course, Jonathan Plummer, Head of Production at Solent Productions, and previous film editor at ITV, commented:

"The Green Screen course I completed was very informative. I teach studio production and have been able to use the knowledge gained with my students and in my work as Head of Production at Solent Productions as I have recently been shooting some interviews on green screen for a Solent Productions project.

“I thought the delivery of this unit was extremely effective and was a good combination of technical background on the colour spectrum and how green screen works in theory and practical exercises in lighting and shooting. Noticeably, after I taught my recent course in studio production and taught green screen to the students several chose to use green screen in their final assessed pieces.

“I would recommend the course to anyone wanting to gain a grounding in green screen."
