special effect
Special effect refers to a visual or audio manipulation or creation that enhances or alters the presentation of a film, television show, video game, or other media production. These effects can be created on set using props or rigged equipment, known as practical effects, or generated digitally through the use of various software applications, known as computer-generated imagery (CGI). Special effects are used to create realistic simulations of elements such as explosions, fantastical creatures, weather phenomena, or other things that may be dangerous, expensive, or impossible to capture with standard filming techniques.
