Most movies are full of special effects. These are visual tricks that give the illusion that everything in a scene is real. 

A giant hurricane, an angry T-rex or wrinkles erased: they can be incredible or very discreet.

They’ve been used since the beginning of cinema, at the end of the 19th century, especially by the French director and magician Georges Méliès.

How are these special effects made? 

They begin on the film set… 

… with the help of make-up, models or fans, for example.
