A green screen is a green background that video production teams use to place visual effects later during the post-production phase.
The technology of using a green screen (or Chroma key) has been around since the 19th century. Entertainment and Hollywood have become legendary for using this art of illusion.
The name green screen was adopted simply because there’s a large green screen background on the set. The color green was chosen as one of the least colors worn by personalities or images used for display. The technique uses layers of images.
The background layer is the transparent green screen. The foreground is the final displayed image. The screen is placed behind the image to be displayed. Studio green backdrops are used to completely surround the object to create a floating effect.
Today, the process is technically known as chroma keying or color keying in the industry.
The transparency is a result of choosing a particular color to use with computer software. Generally, movie makers use a blue screen.
News and weather production crews use a green screen. The software allows the placement of any image onto the green screen’s background. Today’s technology has updated the application and made it easier to recreate the image projected onto the stage and film.
The main purpose for using a green screen is the special effects. We see it daily on local weather broadcasting, television shows and blockbuster movies.
Producers are using color key effects to superimpose and remove images from the screen. For example, using the chroma key special effects with an actor is wearing green clothing makes the clothing invisible.
Technology advancements and digital introductions have expanded the use of green screens.
Today, entrepreneurs and professionals are creating their own videos using electronic devices and software. Projects with limited space and budgets are using portable screens.
The portable screens are just as effective versus a green studio backdrop. Fabrics used are generally stretched eliminating wrinkles because they can cause shadows.
Next is the level of high delighting, which also prevents any shadowing of the final image. A green screen, computer software and a video camera or a smartphone with video capability can literally place you anywhere in the world.
Blue screens are used more in photography for its calming effect and mood enhancement. Digital technology has developed a stronger following using the green screen. The reason – the green color captures the light easier for a brighter effect. Venues using green screen technology include conventions, conferences and trade shows. Marketing campaigns for concerts and sporting events have created amazing effects.
Here are few trade secrets to consider while buying or renting a Green Screen:
1. Lighter, brighter green screens work better than dark green.
2. Screens should be non-crease and wrinkle resistant.
3. RGB lighting adds colour to red, green and blue spectrums.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
