Advantages There are still good reasons to use blue or green screens. The Poseidon Adventure (2006) had an all–stainless steel kitchen. Some tests were shot using traditional blue screens, but the blue contamination was so great that it couldn’t be removed. Using a front projection blue screen eliminated the blue reflection because the screen doesn’t put out any blue light. One light source can light up a 20- by 40-foot screen with an even light field. This can provide much higher light intensity for working at higher f-stops. It is easy to change out blue or green screens for whatever color is needed. The space needed is a lot smaller than with rear projection. Although front projection with picture imagery is not used much anymore due to the quality of the final image, it could be used when a scene has many of the same shots or shots that go on for long periods of time.Disadvantages The screen material is quite expensive and must be kept in optimum condition for continued use. It requires a special camera projector or light source setup. If the alignment of the camera projector is not 100% correct, fringing may appear around the actors. This requires setup time to get the projector and camera lined up, depending on how close or far away the actor is from the camera. There are also issues with haloing, depending on how dark the projected image is and how much light is on the actor or foreground object. Again, haloing can be reduced by putting black velvet on the actor’s backside, as long as the actor doesn’t rotate during the shot.
