BLUE BACKING [Film Technology]




BLUE BACKING
[Film Technology] 

The director of photography should have a working knowledge of the different systems of process photography so that he may use them to  create special effect or to reduce production cost. Traveling matte or blue backing is a process of adding background at the printing stage. In this case the artists or objects in the foreground are photographed against an intensely blue background which may subsequently be used as a matte in the optical prints. Unlike front projection or back projection, with traveling matte the composite scene is not achieved until after optical printing.
