You have the basics right. One critical thing to consider in shotting on blue or greenscreen is to add some backlight between your subject and the screen. This will minimize shadows that will otherwise make your keying look fake.
Also, make sure your screen is as flat and motionless as possible, and try to avoid having any seams in the frame if you are using an actual fabric screen.
