Studio Visit "Studio Green/Blue Screen"

Green/Blue Screens are primary used in SFX (Special Effects), as a backdrop for images to be placed upon during the composting stage of production.

Continuing on from my last entry about lighting, in this session we found out more information about why lighting is so important in green screen/ and blue screen. One of the most important things you have got to consider when setting up lighting for your green screen footage is the shadow. When you light you're scene you light the screen behind the object as well as the object in the for ground to avoid a shadow on you green screen when composting. A shadow will effect the colour of the screen and so by lighting it separately you erase nearly all the shadow, and hopefully get a solid colour that is so much easier to work with in compositing.


























The Green screen in the Phoenix studio was set up for us to film our crowd duplication in the coming week, we practiced using the camera like focusing and using the white balance. We set up the white balance by holding a white object infront of the camera then we zoom into the white object and then we can set the white balance to that.
