Hello Berz,
welcome to AndroidPIT! 
I am a little confused, locking the screen means basically that the screen is turned off. Therefor you can not watch any videos when the screen is locked as it is simply turned off.
What exactly are you trying to do?

Sorry for my unclear statement.
I want to lock the phone (which turns the screen off) and still want to enjoy watching a video in VLCplayer.
I want that nothing happens to the video if i touch the screen by mistake.
I am not a native english speaker so I hope I made everything clear to understand.
With my old telephone (samsung wave 2) that was no problem. When i locked it, my video would continue, but the S3 goes black and silent and i cannont continue watching my video.
Did u understand the problem now? Thanks!

Android security has been tightened, watching videos without unlocking screen means vulnerability. You cannot watch any videos or hear music without unlocking your phone.,

Ok so i have to buy an old mobile phone to watch videos?
How can i watch movies on my phone then? How can i give the phone to a child in order to watch a video? It will definately touch the screen and stop the video.
Where is my phone in danger if i start the video, lock the screen and the video continues playing???? I dont understand this at all.
It really seems like technology is getting worse for us. What the hell??? Thanks a lot for the information mister Sanjai. I am shocked!!! Is it only like this with android? If so I will never buy an android phone again - UNBELIEVEABLE.

Is there maybe any player that can lock the screen?
Thank you Mister Sanjai, i already did that and tried all the possible settings but whenever the a video runs and i press the lock-screen-button, the screen goes black and the video stops. Could u maybe tell me exactly the neccessary settings?
