ESPECIAL EFFECTS

We must differentiate between visual effects and special effects. In this article we will not make this distinction and all within englobaremos effects

The special effects are a set of techniques used in the entertainment or audiovisual field : entertainment, illusion , theater, opera , film, television , video released on the internet , rock concerts etc. .

These techniques are designed to create a visual illusion through which the viewer attends scenes that can not be obtained by normal means , such as space travel or the transformation of a man into a werewolf. Special effects can be used to represent objects or beings exist , such as a dragon, but most of them are sometimes used when obtaining the effect by normal means is too expensive or dangerous . For example , it may be safer and cheaper to film the explosion of a small scale model to shoot a real blast on a human scale , with risk of death or injury to the cast and crew . Also in the film , also makes use of special effects to enhance previously filmed with real elements conventional means. This can be done through the inclusion or removal of elements in a plane or even by improving items that were already present at the time of filming. Often different techniques are used in the same plane or scene to achieve the desired effect and often the special effects are 'invisible' , meaning that the viewer does not realize that the image or sequence you are seeing is actually a special effect. An example of this are the sets of historical films where architecture and surroundings are recreated through special effects.
