Assistant Lecturer, Photography, Cinema & TV Department, Higher Institute of Applied Arts, Fifth Settlement, Cairo,
Abstract
The pioneers of cinematic tricks appeared in the field and laid down the basic principles of world cinema, which then became the main backbone of a completely independent branch in making films based on visual effects and cinematic tricks, employing both photography, editing, and directing. A pioneer of this art also appeared in Egypt, the artist Niazi Mustafa, who laid the foundations for cinematic effects. From here, Egyptian cinema began to know special effects as an alternative to creating an atmosphere that we cannot achieve in reality. Thus, special effects have contributed to cinematography over the years and ded a new direction of great value in the film industry. Over time, the possibilities of visual effects were demonstrated through slow and fast rendering, fing and gration, blending, and early masking techniques that me way for the use of the Matting technique. Simple effects with a camera differ from complex effects with a computer. The emergence of vanced technology has greatly contributed to improving the visual effects within the film, and some companies have developed tools and programs designed to achieve credibility, and have helped filmmakers embody their visions and write them on the screen without technological restrictions. Also, both the camera and the computer were combined to make the required movements with the same camera angles and tracks, which saved a huge time in visualization and animation. Besides, wallpapers designed with live motion are also integrated.
