The Pen Tool

The pen tool is a tool in multiple Adobe creative suite programs and is very helpful/important. the pen tool allows you to make custom shapes and create things you've drawn in an Adobe program. The pen tool has an annoying learning curve but once you learn it you can do it fairly easily. The pen tool is very important and should be known by everyone, no guarantee you'll like using it though.

Green Screening

Green screening seems hard to people who have never done it but is actually pretty easy. All you have to do is film in front of a solid color and then bring it into Adobe Premier. next you have to remove the background and add your own. Some things you have to take into account are the colors you wear and the reflections of green on people. But if you have these under control green screening is easy.

Filming a commercial

There are a number of things you have to take into account when making a commercial. First you have to storyboard so you know what you're doing. Next you have to write the script and make sure your actors know it. After that you have to set up your equipment and location and check mic levels. Finally once everything is filmed you have to edit it all together and put it on air, and boom you have made a commercial.

3 Point Lighting is what you call a certain light set up used when filming. This setup consists of three light; the back light, the fill light, and the key light. This set up is ideal when shooting scenes with people in them and is very commonly used.
