SPECIFIC EXAMPLES
VFX
DIGITAL COMPOSITING - The process of digitally assembling multiple images to make a final image, putting together CGI and live action.
BLUE/GREEN SCREEN - The use of big coloured screens to stand as backgrounds, which are later edited to look like real scenery later in production.
CHROMAKEY - Allows you to remove the background of a moving image, typically removes green/blue screen by selecting colours and isolating them.
COMPUTER GENERATED IMAGERY (CGI) - Typically effects that are added digitally, such as simulated explosions and animated characters added over a live action setting.
MATTES - Allows you to combine multiple images together, an older technique used to black out the background of a shot.
MORPHING - The way a shape can transform into another with a basically seamless transition
ROTOSCOPING/3D GRAPHICS - Rotoscoping is when you reference a live recording and pretty much overlay it with an animation, typically used to figure out character movements and help with perspectives.
SFX
MECHANISED PROPS - Machines that are created as props (moving elements)
STUNT PROPS - Soft/action appropriate props used during stunts (fake weapons made with soft material) and/or large models made for action scenes that won't harm the stunt double/actor. (fake furniture)
SCALE MODELS - A physical (usually mini) model typically used to imitate a large building/model for recording specific shots in a movie.
MAKEUP - The alteration of someone's appearance via the use of prosthetics and paint
PYROTECHNICS - Typically used when creating controlled explosions and anything that may be dangerous
