An Intro to Special Effects Questions:
Special Effects - An illusion created for movies and television by props, camerawork, computer graphics, etc.
Visual Effects - In filmmaking, visual effects are the processes by which imagery is created and/or manipulated outside the context of a live action shot.
Practical Effects - A practical effect is a special effect produced physically, without computer-generated imagery or other post production techniques.
Chroma Key - a technique by which a block of a particular color (often blue or green) in a video image can be replaced either by another colour or image, enabling, for example, a weather forecaster to appear against a background of a computer-generated weather map.
Green Screen - a blue (or green) background in front of which moving subjects are filmed and which allows a separately filmed background to be added to the final image.
Matte - are used in photography and special effects filmmaking to combine two or more image elements into a single, final image.
