            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.

The most common cuts & transitions used in films.

                                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

Advance filmmaking DI (Digital Intermediate), DCI (Digital Cinema Initiatives), DCP (Digital Cinema Package)

What is DI?  DI stands for Digital Intermediate, which is a post-production process where the original film or video footage is scanned and converted into a high-resolution digital format. This allows for color correction, visual effects, and other adjustments to be made to the final image before output to a film print or digital distribution format. For example, a movie shot on 35mm film might undergo a DI process in which the film is scanned at 4K resolution and then color graded to adjust the overall look and feel of the film. Special effects such as compositing and visual enhancements can also be added. The final output is then used to create the film prints or digital distribution master copies. An example of a film that underwent a DI process is the movie "The Martian" directed by Ridley Scott and released in 2015. The film was shot on 35mm film, but during the DI process, the footage was scanned at 4K resolution and then color graded to create the desired look and feel
