Green Screen:
A green background/sheet in front of which moving subjects are filmed and which allows a separately filmed background to be added to the image. It is used for films, video games, photos and any other where you can easily get rid of the background. You are able to choose whatever background you like.
History of Green Screen:
Georges Méliès was a French illusionist and film-maker famed for leading a lot of technical and narrative developments in the first days of the cinema.
Alice in Wonderland:
Alice in Wonderland used a green screen as many of their scenes were supposed to be fantasy world and would be a a lot cheaper to change the background rather creating and actually making a magical background. The majority of the film was shot in Cornwall at an ancient house. The green screen used is very realistic and made to look authentic and believable.
P1: Research and understand matte paintings:
Matte painting is a painting image
of a landscape or a location which allows film-makers to produce any illusion of
an environment that is make believe as it would be too expensive or impossible
to build.
The first man to create a matte painting was Norman Dawn. He developed an idea to join a photograph and a painting together. He took the photographs himself and placed them on large sheets of glass, he then placed black tape over the parts of the camera where the paintings would go. After he positioned the camera correctly the live action scene would take place. So it resulted to a live photograph and a simple painting when it was finished to create an imaginary effect.
The matte painting technique was used in Mary Poppins with the scenery of London painted by Peter Ellenshaw. It was used to transform London into a more majestic city to fit the idea of the story. I think looking back at the pictures from the matte painting it was carefully and thoughtfully done as it does look realistic and it gives more of an imaginative feel.
Rotoscoping:
An animation performance which animators draw over footage, for use in live-action and animated films. In the beginning, recorded live-action film images were proposed onto a frosted glass panel and re-drawn by an animator.
Rotoscoping was originally created by Mark Fleischer, he used it in Out of the Inkwell animated series, which debuted in 1918.
