Compositing

Compositing is the combining of visual elements from separate sources into single images, often to create the illusion that all those elements are parts of the same scene.

Live-action shooting for compositing is variously called "chroma key", "blue screen", "green screen" and other names.

Today, most (though not all) compositing is achieved through digital image manipulation.

Pre-digital compositing techniques go back as far as the trick films of Georges Méliès in the late 19th century; and some are still in use.
