Green/Coloured
Screen(s)
For my project I want to make short surrealist video, with
one of the ways I will try and achieve this through the use of a Green screen.
A green/coloured screen is a backdrop that is a colour not featured in any
props or actors in front of the screen which in editing allows the screen to be
chroma keyed out and then replaced with something else as the background by
layering the footage behind, this will allow me to create or use a range of
backgrounds that I could have actors or props in for example an idea I have is
for someone to be lounging in holiday attire in a foggy swamp location by using
a green screen this allows me to put my actor in the location without having to
go to that type or area.
Coloured Screens are commonly used in all types of media such
as weather reports, where the coloured screen is changed to a weather map to
feature films where whole movies can be shot in front of a screen. Similar
techniques to coloured screens have a history which dates back to 1898 where ‘George
Albert Smith’ used black draping and double exposures to achieve a similar
result.
