Green screen technology

Green screen technology enables the photographers to remove the background and insert digital effects in post production. Green software is powerful and contains a chroma key removal program which functions on itself with no support from other editing applications. Chroma key helps to amalgamate two or more videos and photos into one. It enables us to add a image of our choice later.
Also sound effects like voice and background music to the videos can be done effectively. Green screen software provides a striking and splendid outcomes.

Why is Green Screen used:
Digital sensors are more sensitive to green color. So special effects can be given to videos. As skin tones do not have green tone, it provides a better contrast. When we shoot in a complete contrast color against the background, separation process is made simple post production. Color spills has to be considered when shooting since the background colors may cast on the shoulders and hair which makes the editing job difficult post production. So proper care has to be taken to avoid color spills. The following tips enables us to prevent color spills:
·         The subject has to be placed  8 - 10 feet away from the background
·         The background has to be lighted evenly.
·         The background has to be a step below the foreground


·         The color of the subject and background should not be the same.
