Tutorial On What It Takes To Pull Off Great Chroma Keying
Red Giant provides software for motion design, photography and color correction that is used for everything from major motion pictures to worldwide television programming to web production. Authors Rich Harrington and Abba Shapiro walk you through the process of preparing a live-action set, from hanging the backdrop to lighting the subject with strobes; positioning and posing your subject; and completing the scene with postproduction techniques in Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro.

So there's a lot to green screen photography, but I'd say the best way to figure it out is by actually doing it. That said, I would first find a portable green screen or painting a wall with chroma key paint.

Because the dark areas on the green screen are too close in colour to the dark areas of your subject it may be hard to key them out cleanly. As for the lighting, the main thing you want to make sure is that your green screen is EVENLY lit otherwise you will have issues keying it out afterwards. The more space you have, the greater distance you have to pull go here your subject away from the green screen, eliminating shadows.

In fullscreen photobooth mode the green screen background and overlay images are loaded from the photobooth images folder. In fullscreen video booth mode the green screen background and overlay images are loaded from the photobooth images folder. Method 1: DSLR Remote Pro for Windows takes the photos, performs the green screen removal and prints the images. DSLR Remote Pro for Windows can perform simple green screen removal and print the images without the need for any other software. This is simple to setup and is fine for small photobooth prints under good lighting conditions. Please see the Green Screen Wizard website for information about Green Screen Wizard Pro Batch and to purchase a copy.

I've shot in front of the green screen at the news station where I work (which was obviously a little better lit than your set up), and I've never been able to pull a key in Final Cut with that kind of precision.
