Question
Watch five people talking about a film in which the special effects impressed them. Complete the table.
Answer
- Sion: The Artist; silent film, shot in black and white; still manages to have an impact in the modern film world.
- Audrey: Life of Pi; a very visual film, they used a real tiger in the film, and cut it with CGI, they conveyed the emotions of the animal well; you could understand what it was thinking.
- Jeff: Inception; they make the city fold in on itself and there are some beautiful scenes of characters floating in a hotel room; makes the film beautiful / visually appealing.
- Helen: Forrest Gump; they take historical footage and put actors in; it's funny to see a new take on a historical event.
- Elliot: The Matrix, 'bullet time' - they film a scene from lots of different angles and at different rates; adds a slo mo effect.
