Lecture in french

If film is "the art of supreme illusion", it is also the art of "special effects" – all manipulations of images resulting in a screen image of something that did not exist in reality during the shooting of the film. Unlike its usage in everyday life, "special effects" in films are mostly free of negative connotations: they enable (among other things) the invention and manufacture of sets and landscapes around characters, even whole virtual worlds that it would be impossible to build physically on set.

From classic techniques used in shooting (matte effects, transparencies/painted windows) to digital touch-ups of filmed images before a green screen, and the postproduction integration of digital special effects, the ways to modify or create a film set are varied and have evolved greatly in the last hundred years.

The film-lecture provides a view of the historical evolution of the different "special effects" techniques and the invention of sets on screen – while also focussing on a very relevant aesthetic consideration, especially the credibility of the sets.

A lecture in French punctuated by a large number of extracts from films.
