Special effects
What are "special effects"?
Special effects are techniques used in film and television to create illusions or enhance scenes that cannot be achieved through traditional filming methods. These effects can include visual elements such as explosions, supernatural phenomena, or complex environments, often created using digital technology, practical effects, or a combination of both. Special effects help to bring imaginative and dramatic elements to life, adding excitement and visual impact to a production. They can be achieved through computer-generated imagery (CGI), miniature models, animatronics, or practical effects like makeup and props.
