Special Effects – What Does the Term Mean?

Movie audiences are amazed to watch the spectacular effects shown on screen in the latest Hollywood blockbusters. While movie fans are thrilled to see these effects on screen, most of them haven’t the faintest idea how these effects are achieved by the wizards of movie magic. ‘Special effects’ is a widely used term in movie circles but it is also a vague term that can mean different things to different people. In this article, we will try to understand what exactly is meant by the term ‘Movie Special Effects’.

The specific techniques that filmmakers use to make audiences see and believe something that really isn’t there is termed as ‘Movie Special Effects’. For example, we know that dinosaurs don’t exist anywhere on earth today (at least we assume they don’t), and yet we see a variety of dinosaurs parading onscreen in movies like Jurassic Park and King Kong. Now how do the filmmakers show things on screen that don’t exist at present in reality? We know that humans don’t fly or crawl up walls, and yet we see our superheroes doing those very things on a movie screen. How do they manage to take such shots and make them look so convincing? Well, the exact techniques that are employed to bring such magic onto the movie screen are what this term refers to.

These effects can range from the most simple, like running the film in reverse to much more complex techniques like seamlessly merging animation with live action shots. Moreover, many of these effects are used together simultaneously on the same shot. Very rarely does just one effect get featured separately on a shot. The complexity of the effects used in today’s movies demands a multitude of ingenious techniques to be used simultaneously on the very same shot.
