What is Green Screen Filming?
Green Screen Filming is essentially filming a scene but the background is replaced with a screen that is completely green in colour.
As the background is completely green, this allows an editor to replace the existing green background with any desired background, which can give the impression that the scene was filmed in a different location. This also gives the editor the freedom of selecting their desired background.
Green screens are not limited to movies where CGI and special effects are incorporated into scenes through it, they are also use in weather reporting broadcasts where the weather broadcasts and advertisement production.
Why is Green Screen Filming preferred?
Green Screen Filming is normally prefered due to the ability to change the background, this gives the editor the flexibility to utilize multiple backgrounds in quick succession should the video need it.
In addition to the ability to change the background, green screen filming is cheaper than traditional filming where the background is a prop in the video or film. Physical background can be costly to create and natural backgrounds are hard to find and shoot a film with, hence green screen filming is the best way for these kind of films.
Compared to other methods of chrome keying such as blue screen filming, green screen filming is better as the colour green is more distinct than most other colours.
