Green Screen: Best for Historic to Futuristic themes

By Errol Merv


Movies give great entertainment. To some it is a way of escaping from everyday stress that life brings. Movies take you to places you've never been, let's you meet people you only see in your imagination and brings you back to historical events you never thought you'd witness. Movie is an art, an art of capturing human emotions and life's priceless moments leaving lessons, questions and wisdom. But how are movies made? We are sometimes engulfed with our curiosity as to how our favorite heroes fly and how the characters we only see in drawings comes to life inside the big screen.

What we know when we watch a movie is the story and the characters in them, but what is interesting is the process of how it was made, how they were all put together to make this one fantastic film. Movie makers have undergone many changes on the equipments used to give special effects on a certain scene. With the technology we have today, there is just no limit on making something as unbelievable as a planet vanishing into thin air happen. A technique called Chroma key compositing is today's most popular strategy, it makes use of two images, one on the front and another on the back, they try to adjust each screen as which part is to be visible and with should be hidden to make something appear as something else, for example add big wings to a man to make him look like an angel. A more popular name to this style is called the green screen. This technique is also widely used in weather forecasting where you see the reporter and information about the coming weather behind her, but when you go to their studio what you are really going to see is just her standing in front of a green screen.

Photographers also use green screens. There are many software that will allow you to do the same as a green screen do but they sometimes have glitches which will result in an undesirable output, you'd have to redo everything; unlike the green screen where it has been proven to work each and every time. Green screens are made of fabric material, they are made to be not very reflective so that it won't produce mismatch on the colors you want to appear.
