  1. SPECIAL EFFECTS VOCABULARY #11

  2. F/X • An abbreviation for “special effects,” a term for various photographic tricks that create unreal, dangerous, or impossible situations.

  3. MATTE SHOT • the optical process of combining separately-photographed shots (usuallyactors in the foreground and the setting in the background) onto one print through a double exposure that does not meld two images on top of each other; it is a photographic technique in which artwork from a matte artist, usually painted on glass, is combined with live action footage to provide a convincing setting for the action

  4. ANIMATION • drawings or other graphic images placed in a sequence to portray movement.

  5. SUPERIMPOSITION • an optical printing process that exposes one image on top of another on piece of film stock so that they can both be seen at once.

  6. MORPHING • the transformation of one digital image into another with computer animation. e.g. The Abyss, Terminator 2

  7. CGI • Computer-Generated Imagery, the use of 3D computer graphics and technology in filmmaking to create images, special effects, and the illusion of motion.

  8. BLUE/GREEN SCREEN • a process in which actors work in front of an evenly-lit, blue or green background or screen, which is then replaced in post-production with other footage or computer-generated images to form a complete image; since 1992, most films use a green-screen.

  9. STOP-MOTION PHOTOGRAPHY • a special-effects animation technique where figures or models are shot one frame at a time and moved or repositioned slightly between each frame, giving the illusion of lifelike motion; one of the earliest special-effects techniques for science-fiction films, now replaced by CGI.

  11. REAR PROJECTION • a special effects technique to create backgrounds in which actors are filmed in front of a screen on which a background scene is projected; commonly used to produce the effect of motion in a vehicle. Click to Play Video

  12. GLASS SHOT • an elaborate set painted realistically on part of a pane of glass with the action shot through it, combining two images.

  13. PYROTECHNICS • The use of explosives or ballistics in a film.

  14. FOLEY • any sound effect recorded on a foley stage, a sound stage which contains material and props necessary for a foley artist to create post-production sounds in a film that must be recorded in synchronization with the film’s action.

  15. POSTSYNCHRONIZATION • the post-production process of replacing unclear or garbled voices and sounds in a movie soundtrack, often referred to as “dubbing.”
