            VFX (VISUAL EFFECTS)
         

It is the process by which imagery is created and manipulated outside the context of a live-action shooting. Visuals are often integral to a movie's story. Although most visual effects work is completed during design, guides and leads the teams required to achieve the desired effects.

Visual effects are divided into 5 parts:

Matte Painting:
This technique creates highly detailed and realistic backgrounds and environments using digital painting tools. It is often used to create a sense of scale and grandeur, such as the vast landscapes in The Lord of the Rings or the expansive cityscapes in Blade Runner 2049.


Motion Capture: 

This technique uses cameras and sensors to capture the movement of actors, which is then used to animate computer-generated characters. It allows for the creation of realistic digital characters that move and act like real human or animal. Examples include the characters of Gollum in Lord of the Rings and Caesar in the Planet of the Apes films.



CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery): 
This technique uses computer software to create 3D models and animations of characters, environments, and other elements that can be composited with live-action footage. It allows for the creation of realistic and fantastical elements that would be difficult or impossible to capture in live-action filming. Examples include the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park and the Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.


Compositing: 
This technique combines multiple images or elements together to create a single, seamless image. It is often used to combine live-action footage with CGI elements, such as adding a digital creature to a live-action landscape. Examples include the dragon in Game of Thrones and the giant robot in Pacific Rim.


Rotoscoping: 
This technique is used to isolate and separate individual elements from live-action footage, such as a character or a vehicle, so that they can be composited with other elements or replaced with CGI.

                                In post-production, the process of film editing and video editing, a cut is an abrupt, but usually trivial film transition from one sequence to another. It is synonymous with the term edit, though "edit" can imply any number of transitions or effects. The cut, dissolve and wipe serve as the three primary transitions. The term refers to the physical action of cutting film or videotape, but also to a similar edit performed in software; it has also become associated with the resulting visual "break". Types of Cuts : 1. J-cut and  L-cut 2. A Match cut 3. A jump cut 4. Cutaway 5. A cross-cut/Parallel editing 6. Cutting on action •An L-cut and the J-Cut : A J-cut and L-cut are film editing techniques that involve the use of overlapping audio in order to create a smooth transition between two shots. A J-cut refers to a transition where the audio from the next shot starts before the corresponding visual is shown on scre

Screenplays were once typed on manual typewriters, and to this day their formatting is that simple. Screenplays are printed in 12-point Courier on US Letter paper. Writing a screenplay can be a challenging task, but there are a few tips that can help make the process easier and more effective: Start with a strong premise :   A good screenplay should have a unique and compelling premise that grabs the audience's attention and sets the story in motion. Take for example "The Shawshank Redemption", the story follows the story of a man named Andy who is falsely convicted of murder and sent to Shawshank prison. The premise is intriguing and sets the stage for the story to unfold. Develop well-rounded characters :   A good screenplay should have well-developed characters that the audience can relate to and care about. Take for example "The Godfather", the characters are complex and have many layers, with their own motivations and desires that drive the story. Cr
