[A] blue screen will require twice as much light as [a] green screen, often a whole f-stop. But because of this difference in luminosity, blue also results in less color spill. Blue screen is also ideal for replicating darker or nighttime conditions. 4, record 1, English, - blue%20screen
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The blue screen method was developed in the 1930s at RKO Radio Pictures.... Before digital chroma keying, bluescreening was accomplished using film. The camera color negative was printed onto high-contrast black and white film, using either a filter or the color sensitivity of the black and white film to limit it to the blue channel. Assuming this film was a negative it produced clear where the bluescreen was [and] black elsewhere... The end result was a clear background with an opaque shape of the subject in the middle. 5, record 1, English, - blue%20screen

La couleur bleue [...] a été utilisée dans le cinéma bien avant l'apparition des techniques numériques modernes. En tournage sur pellicule, l'utilisation du bleu était liée au fait que la couche d'émulsion bleu du film avait «les plus beaux cristaux» et donc plus de détails pour le minimum de grain (en comparaison avec les couches rouges et vertes de l'émulsion.) Mais le bleu nécessite d'avoir plus de lumière pour fonctionner que le vert. [C'est donc] plus difficile à utiliser. 4, record 1, French, - fond%20bleu

The term "channel" generally means the deep part of a river or other waterway, and its meaning is normally made clear by a descriptive adjectival term, either stated or implied, such as "low-water" channel, "main" channel, "artificial" channel.

Le terme «chenal» signifie généralement la partie la plus profonde d'une rivière ou d'un cours d'eau et son sens est normalement rendu clair par un qualificatif tel que chenal «principal», chenal «artificiel», chenal «de basses eaux».
