Best Answer

Green screen is a filming technique used in creating special effects. Since the human body does not normally include the color green (with the exception of a tiny amount of green sometimes found in the iris of the eye, and only for a small minority of people) you can film someone against an all green background, and then edit out the color green, leaving you with just the actor, and no background, which then allows you to superimpose the actor against an entirely different background, such as a scene from another planet with giant monsters. This enables you to effectively place an actor, or actors, in a situation which would have been much more expensive to create by a more direct filming technique.
