Green-screen also known as blue-screen, colour keying and CSO (colour separation overlay).
This method was developed in the 1930's. A blue screen was favored for years until more recently because green helps retain detail when using digital cameras. Green also requires less light to be needed.
The use of a green screen has become dominant for film special effects. Advantages for using a green screen over blue is that for outdoor filming the sky wont be replaced in the process. Blue and green are used as the background colours because they are considered to be the least like the skin tone colour. You commonly find this technique used today for weather forecasts and in the entertainment industry. 


Here is photographic evidence of my group and I using the green-screen at which we borrowed from our own sources.

We only used the camera,tripod and green-screen for this filming session including our costume from the original footing.

We used the computer for the songs lyrics whilst Ryan was performing.

We repeated many scenes from different angles and distances.



This is the picture that we are going to use within the music video to show the couples relationship stages.
