Green Screen: Best for Historic to Futuristic themes

By Duane Mitch


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.

Green screen is also used in Photography and the method, technique and concept is the same. There are now lots of available software in the market that enhances images or replace backgrounds however the intricate process of the new technology sometimes gives you more trouble than convenience; basic materials are easy to use, find and are tested through time and green screen is a proven process that works. Getting these materials is easy, they are available everywhere. A good green screen is made of fabric that is not too reflective because of its tendency to create lighter "hotspots". Lighter, brighter green is better than dark green and choose a material that is crease-resistant.

Green screens are most preferred in the digital world because digital cameras retain more details on the green channel and require less light.
