“Visual effects are processes used to manipulate imagery in mostly digital post production process” (Byrne 03). Visual Effect is necessary in a film production to alter unrealistic and impracticable images to realistic images. Usually, the visual effects team follow the basic five steps in a film production to create such images. They begin the process with a plan, meanwhile, the team begins their plan on storyboards and concepts. In the second step, they implement the plan then commences the step by setting film sets and by preparing special effect props. In the third step, data, information and shots are collected and scanned then sent to the studio. In the fourth step, scanned shots are edited and later visual effect is added. In the fifth

Film sets, cameras and props for example, green screen, special effect props, are prepared as a reference for cinematographer and film editor by using storyboards and concept drawings as a guide. This step may take a short time because all it needs to be done is to follow the plan and the concept design. After carrying out the plan and executing it thoroughly, it creates chance to work easily without any difficulties. Hence, the team proceeds to the next step. In the third step, the VFX team works alongside with the actors as the shooting begins. While and after the film shooting, the team gathers every data and information from the set such as film recordings, camera lens and positions for match moving process (Fariss 2015). This step can take several weeks to months depending on the pace of the film shooting. Next, the team scans the shot that needs visual effects and sends it to the studio. Assembling every important data, files and information builds work efficiencies and the continuation of the steps. So, the team moves on after after completing this …show more content…
Work starts to burden artists in the fourth step as they work on different shots using array of tools and techniques. “Workdays are usually at least 10 hours long. Deadlines are high-pressure and rarely flexible” (Middleton 2010). They edit the scanned shots and creates computer generated images, lighting effects, 3D renderings or animations and numerous techniques to change the atmosphere of the film. “Combined together, these techniques allow a visual effects team to create nearly anything that the director can imagine. It is an amazing set of tools” (Brain 2000). Alteration of almost genuinely impossible scenes into realistic scenes are what visual effect is special for. The fourth step allows to mould realistic environment, but the next step creates extra life in the realistic environment of the film. After completion of this crucial step, the team moves to the final
