Challenges and Solutions in Green Screen Post-Production: A Narrative Review
Subject area: Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities · Area of research: Visual Communication
Abstract
Green screen technology, also known as Chroma keying, has revolutionized the film and video production industry, enabling dramatic visual effects and environmental effects but this transformative technology is not without its challenges, especially after filming. Thisresearch paper examines the most common challenges faced by professionals working with green screens in post-production and explores solutions and strategies to address these issues. Some of the challenges mentioned include spills removal, color correction and edge finishing. We examine the complexity of these challenges and provide an in-depth review of the various methods and tools used in the industry to overcome them. This paper introduces the latest trends and innovations in post-green screen manufacturing, including AI-powered solutions and real-time processing. By illuminating complex green screen post-production, this research paper aims to provide valuable insights for filmmakers, editors, and researchers, contributing to the continued advancement of this important technology in the world entertainment and content.
