Definitions
Section titled “Definitions ”Green Screen
Section titled “Green Screen ”Refers to a colored background that you want to remove from your shot. This is usually single colored backdrop that can be of any color. Usually, a bright green color is used because it is the furthest away from a human’s skin color. In past times, blue colored screens were also popular. When there is a green colored prop required in the shot, a bright blue colored screen is used instead.
