physics questions

hi I have a question I was just curious about in lesson and would appreciate anyone that could help.
Those things in Drama that you put over lights to make them colored (I think filtered) How do they work? is it via excitation or something or is this something completely unrelated.

Edit I just thought of this I know its unlikely but would it be possible to make one by applying a layer of a transition metal onto the filter and trapping it with another layer of plastic then the filter will dissolve the other colours. (from chemistry)
