special+effects

1. What are special effects? **Special effects are illusions on film (like TV, movies, and commercials). Special effects are also filmed on the set and some are mechanical (like breakaway chairs).** 2. Find examples to show **One example of a special effect is in the movie pirates of the caribean when the ship is out in the sea actually the ship is two feet wide. In the movie it makes it look 30 times bigger then it actually is. Another one is with the movie the fast and furious when the fire shoots up from behind the car and then the car fires forward actually it does but there is a bar at the bottom that holds it, and they check before every shot to make sure everything works.**

3.How do they do some of them? They do some of them by making fire shoot out of the back of a car then the car will shoot forward like in the movie james bond. Also in when someone has a gun they make sparks at the end of the barrel to look like the gun is shooting out. 4. What is the difference between special effects and visual effects? The difference between special effects and visual effects are visual effects are made after the shoot in the editing room. Visual effects people use a computer to enhance a movie Ex:( green screen) while special effects are filmed on set and may or may not be enhanced through computers.
