In this article, I will show you how to edit a chroma key photograph (any image with a solid background). Most of the film editors use Green screen and some times Blue screen if the actor has to wear green coloured clothes for some scene. Suppose if you are using black as your background chroma screen, then the color of your eyes, hair or sometimes even shadows are mixed with that, making it hard for editing.Įven if you try to use the color red, it might end up matching color of the foreground subject's lips. The most important factor for using green as the background screen is that it doesn't conflict with any color of out body parts. That is why news reporters and actors are so careful while picking their dress for their shows. Which is not available in case of LIVE events like News Reporting, because whenever they are live the software automatically converts the green color present in the scene to the background that is being shown like in case of Weather Forecast etc. You can still think of working on such images but it will require a lot of unnecessary efforts. Suppose we are shooting a person who is wearing a green colored shirt and our background screen is also green colored then it will become hard to edit the picture. We can choose any color for the background screen, but the only thing we need to care about is that the background color should not be present on any part of the foreground subject.
This kind of photography is mandatory for every motion picture that involves graphics. Green Screen or Chroma Key Photography is a photography style in which we shoot pictures with a solid color in the background so that it becomes easy for the editors to replace that solid background with beautiful backgrounds.
