Horror movies have been using interesting approaches to scare people since their inception. Of course, it all starts with picture and sound, but the techniques change depending on the directors and the time in which the film was made.
special effects
Many people do not like movies with special effects. Most of the time we accuse them of inauthenticity. With them, directors lose touch with reality and the laws of physics, which is why we have films like Mission: Impossible, James Bond and Transformers, etc., where many things seem to be at odds with reality. But after watching this clip, you'll realize that nothing is as it seems, and that it's actually an ordinary movie full of special effects. Like flash photography, which does its best work when we don't know it's been used, the art of special effects lies in not noticing them, and the filmmakers have honed this to perfection.
Special effects and the green screen are the smartphones of Hollywood. Many directors simply cannot do without them. At the beginning of the year, many directors complained about the excessive use of special effects, so a number of prominent Hollywood directors of photography called on the Academy to introduce a new Oscar category that would distinguish between films that were shot using traditional methods and those that use digital effects. Special effects have become so sophisticated that we no longer even realize that much of the movies are actually the work of a computer and that practically nothing is real except for the actors. We've rounded up a number of movies that rely heavily on digital effects. Check out how these movies look without special effects.
With the development of technology, the use of special effects spread in the film world, which many directors began to take advantage of. Sometimes even where it shouldn't be. Michael Bay has a fetish for special effects, but as people have become saturated with them, as Bay-type directors have begun to "abuse" them, many of his studio colleagues have begun to resort to the former "organic" production and try to shoot scenes no special effects. And as you will see, even without the magic of post-production, it is possible to shoot scenes just as stunning as those shot in front of a green surface. Don't believe it? You'd bet that these movie scenes were shot with special effects, but they're not!
From kitschy costumes and primitive special effects to jaw-dropping graphics. Special effects have come a long way, and one of the first studios to board that ship was George Lucas, the father of Star Wars, Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), which is celebrating 40 years this year. On this occasion, they prepared a one-minute video collage with excerpts from films with their graphic masterpiece.
A video compilation of films that received an Oscar for special effects will take you through film history. Starting with the year 1977 until the last Oscar awarded. We bet that you will recognize many of them, but among them there are definitely some that you may not have seen before.
