Abstract
The pioneers of hoaxes appeared in the cinematic field, as they laid down the basic principles of world cinema, which then became the main backbone of a completely independent branch in the manufacture of films based on visual effects and cinematic tricks and the employment of photography, montage and directing. A pioneer of this art also appeared in Egypt, the artist Niazi Mustafa Which laid the foundations of influences. Hence the beginning of the Egyptian cinema’s knowledge of special effects, as it is an alternative to creating an atmosphere that we cannot actually record. Thus, special effects have contributed to cinematography over the years and added an expression of great value in the film industry, and over time it was possible to review the capabilities of visual effects through slow presentation. The rapid, fading, gradual, blending, and early masking techniques that paved the way for the use of the Matting Technique. Simple effects with a camera differ from complex effects with a computer. With the advent of advanced technology, it has greatly contributed to improving the visual effects within the film. Some companies have developed tools and programs used to achieve credibility. They have also helped filmmakers to embody their visions and write them on the screen without technological restrictions. Both the camera and the computer have been combined in order to make the required movements. With the same camera angles and path, which saves a huge amount of time in visualization and animation, the backgrounds designed with live animation have been merged.
