We witness the miracle of Green Screen or chromakey backdrop technology daily when we view the weather report or the nightly news. Where else does this technology been use? How does it really work?
Chromakey backdrop is a photography method when you put the actor in front of a solid colored background screen. One of the primary colors I use is green simply because does not clash with the foreground colors, and it is easy to work with. That is why the technique is called greenscreen by all members of the media. A daily example for greenscreen technology is the news broadcast on TV.

A. Shooting the actor will stand while shooting in the front of the chroma key screen.
B. After completing shooting the film is completed, starts editing work of getting rid of the green backdrop and exchanging the empty space with background images.
C. To prevent shadows and to define the image contour it is necessary to utilize proper lighting.
Chromakey backdrop technology links the gap between reality and illusions, providing film producers a chance to use their own imaginative abilities to film extremely hard scenes.
