  2. Realism:  These are used to make imaginary things look real, like creating lifelike creatures or events that are hard to film.
  3. CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery):  CGI elevates visuals by digitally crafting characters, places, and intricate simulations, surpassing the possibilities of conventional effects.
  4. Practical Effects:  CGI is everywhere, but practical effects use real things like miniatures, models, fake body parts, moving robots, and fireworks to make things look more real. They often work together with CGI to get the best results.
  5. Motion Capture:  Capture movements to animate digital characters or enhance CGI, commonly used for realistic animations.

  7. Special Effects Makeup:  Creating this makeup is like making special stuff, like fake body parts, masks, and more. They use these to transform actors into characters with different appearances. It could be as basic as cuts and scars or as cool as turning them into creatures.
  8. Particle Effects: It can copy different things like fire, smoke, water, and explosions. These are super important for making scenes exciting and real, especially in action-packed parts.
