Please help me decide what filters I should get for the shoot? I have a dvx100b that uses as u all know 72mm filter.

I’m shooting a lot of scene outside especially in the woods.

As I did some tests shoot – I see too much green (reflected from the tree leafs) being picked up. Though I can digitally manipulate in the POST .. But the quality is not as good

1 - Anyways .. The video does not look sharp and there is too much green.

What filter should I use to eliminate this?

2 - I also need to shoot someone looking to the blue sky?

What filter should I use for this scene?

3 - How about general wide shots over looking the city .. etc …

What filter is best?
 
Polos are good, I like linear so you can dial in the effect.

ND grads are also nice, perhaps even sunset grads.

As for green out of focus, I'm not sure what effect you are talking about.
Too much green in a wide shot is usually not a problem. For closeups, you can use white foamcore bounce to block the green and fill with a neutral color. Another option is to use a thin sheet of plywood or "door skin" for bounce fill. It adds a nice pleasing color to flesh tones, shoulc counter the green foliage well.
