VFX, SP/FX & Practical Effects​​​​​​​

-Special effects are stunts, such as car stunts, and large-scale effects like water clearing from areas, and so on. Special effects usually use props, then are filmed a certain way to make the viewer believe that a small prop may be larger, or a character is larger or smaller than they actually are.

-Visual effects are effects put in place after filming, commonly with a green or blue screen. Props can also be used, and then added on to later with visual effects.

-Practical effects are effects used that require little to no additions. Puppets are a good example of practical effects.

-Chroma-key is where a colour in a film or TV show is replaced with a background.

-Green screen allows for a separated background in film or TV. This technique in called chroma-key.

-Garbage mattes allow film editors to choose which pixels are visible and which aren’t.

-All three of these editing techniques use some form of removal from a film in order to create special and visual effects and to help to create an illusion in film.

-Yoda (puppets)

-Jabba the Hutt

-Snow

-Wind

-Sounds (such as explosions, thunder, etc.)

-In After Effects, go to File, Import, and then choose where the footage is saved.  

-Motion Graphics are pieces of footage used to create the illusion of movement.

-Compositing is the combination of two or more images.

-Frame rate is the amount of frames put into a production, usually represented as FPS (Frames Per Second). The ideal frame rate for smooth movement is 24 FPS.

-A composition is a completed work of images, or footage.

-Rendering creates a file for a project, and protects the quality of the video. Rendering also ensures that the audio and video are synchronized.

-OpenGl defines graphics in 2D and 3D.

-To export a composition, go to file, then to export, then choose add to render queue.

Digital Video Effects commonly called DVEs, are digital visual effects that provide transitions from one scene to another, rather than making hard cut frame translational changes. DVEs include fading or dissolving frames, wiping from one frame to another, and frame flipping. More complex effects might include morphing, depending on director’s intent.  Many of these effects will be explained in this activity.
DVEs are used in by the broadcast television industry in live production environments like television studios, outside broadcasts or during any other program productions.

Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement. It is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision, and can be created and demonstrated in a number of ways. The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program, although several other forms of presenting animation also exist.

I couldn't figure out how to get sound in, because I never learned Premiere. I may come back to this later and try and figure it out if I have time.
