The illusions used in the film industries are called special effects. These are used to simulate the imagined events in a story.
Special effects are traditionally divided into the categories of optical effects and mechanical effects.
-Optical effects are techniques in which images or film frames are created photographically.
-Mechanical effects are usually accomplished during the live-action shooting.
Here there are some examples:
OPTICAL EFFECTS
MECHANICAL EFFECTS
Special effects began to be used at the beginning of the 80s. One of the first productions with special effects was "The young Sherlock Holmes", and then "King Kong".But, doubtlessly, one of the best films with special effects is AVATAR.
Avatar is an American science fiction film written and directed by James Cameron.
The story happens in the year 2154, when Jake Sully is turned into an avatar and is moved to Pandora. There, he and the others scientists investigate the Na'vi, the habitants of Pandora, and Jake falls in love with Neytiri. Jake tries to save the Na'vi because the scientists want to destroy Pandora.
It is also one of my favorites films.
Now, what about you?:
-What is your favorite film?

ReplyDelete-Dangerous minds
-You've got mail
Most people think that my favourite film is Twilight Saga or Harry Potter films, but they're wrong, I see many films and I love the most.
-Yes, because if the special effects don't exist we couldn't see Matrix or Harry Potter.
Thanks Ari. I didn´t know that you have another favorite film that it wasn´t Twilight or Harry Potter.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment!
- Well, my favourite films are:
ReplyDelete· Charly and the chocolate factory. Too funny!
· Life is beautiful. Best movie ever!
· Black Swan. It's awesome!
I think special effects are important to make the film more interesting but the plot of the film is more important to distinguish a good film with a bad film.
ReplyDeleteIf the plot is bad, the movie is bad
If the special effects are bad, it can be a bad film or a good film
If both are good, GREAT MOVIE!
Ah, I like Inception's and Alice in Wonderland's special effects. They're... MAGNIFIC!

It was one of the nominees of 2010's Oscar's awards. It's very difficult to understand but it's awesome. You must see it.. Do you like Oscar's?
ReplyDeleteThanks Carme!
ReplyDeletePeña: Yes I like Oscars so much and I always want that some spanish actors or actress win them!
This year, Almodóvar can win one.
ReplyDeleteNowadays if a film hasn't got amazing special effects people don't like it. Can you imagine going to the movies in the 50s, 60s, etc. when special effects were virtually non-existent? Antonio P. is right when he says that good special effects can make a good film more interesting, but good special effects are not enough if the story is boring.
ReplyDeleteYes, you´re right teacher. There are many good films that hasn´t got good effects, and if the story is boring special effects will not do that it is more interesting and enterteining.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment teacher!
