Green Screens:
 

Green screens (also blue screens) are pieces of cloth or panels that are painted a particular color of green (or blue). They are placed behind actors or objects during filming. Later, the green is digitally removed so that people or objects filmed appear before a transparent background.

Filmmakers use green screens to place actors and objects in totally imaginary situations -- in space ships, dangling from rope bridges over gorges, flying through the air (a la Superman) -- and have it look completely real in the theater. The technique is used so often now that you don't even realize it. News reporters are made to look like they are on location when they are not, and complete segments in TV shows can be created this way to make it look like the segment was filmed on location when, in fact, no one left Los Angeles!

Compositing:
  the combining of several images to create a new special effects shot. Today, most film effect compositing is done digitally and scanned back to film. The photographic technology of the optical printer revolutionized visual effects in the 1920s. By the 1990s, digital compositing became commonplace, in which multiple film images are scanned into the computer, combined digitally, and output to a single piece of film.
