The green screen, its where anything can happen. It is most common in weather and news broadcasts. But more recently movies have gotten into it too. Filming many shots that would not be possible with out the technology of a green screen. Green screens can also be blue. But green tends to be the furthest color from skin tones, which makes it the perfect color to use. This picture is an example of how it is set up. This is the set for Spider Wick Cronicals set. Alot of set up process goes into using a green screen. You have to get the lighting perfect to the back ground or the actor will look out of shot. One of my favorite ways that a green screen is used is by the fake dricing sceens. not only is it cheaper , but much safer than to put an actor in a real car chase http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwY3pB_KYtE&feature=related Sin City is also a very famous movie that tends to use alot of screen screen. In the link above is a example of what the actors had to do to use the green screen and how diffucult it is to film with no surroundings. Its quite a talent to act on a green screen, there literally is nothing but same color sheets on the wall. Green screen is an easy and great way to get many different shots.
