It was created by pulling a sheet of paper out of an envelope. C. It was recorded from the real doors on a spaceship. D. It was combined with other sound effects from various movies. To begin with, I'd like to draw your attention to an important factor of a film-sound effects. These are often added after a scene has been shot and might not be made in the way you would expect. For example, in Jurassic Park, the sounds of different animals, including a baby elephant and a tiger, were mixed by a computer to make a dinosaur roar.The sound of the doors opening in the Star Trek films was made simply by pulling a sheet of paper out of an envelope. draw one’s attention 提醒注意 an important factor 一个重要因素 make a dinosaur roar 制作恐龙的吼声 a sheet of paper 一片纸 1.

Which of the following statements about special effects in films is TRUE according to the passage? A. CGI is the only special effects technology used in modern film-making. B. All directors prefer to use computer-aided special effects like CGI. C. In the Harry Potter films, the Quidditch scenes were created with the help of CGI after filming in front of a green screen. D. Special effects in films are only used to make characters seem bigger or smaller. Another aspect I attach great importance to is visual special effects.CGI has been frequently used in film-making as a special effects technology.Generally,scenes requiring CGI are filmed in front of a green screen in the studio. As green doesn't match any natural hair or skin colour, actors can be easily separated from the background. another aspect 另一方面 visual special effects 视觉效果 in front of 在...前面 match 匹配 be seperated from 从...中分离 This enables CGI effects to be added later. The Quidditch scenes in the Harry Potter films were made in this way with the actors jumping up and down in front of a green screen. However, the aid of computers isn't always preferred. Peter Jackson, director of The Lord of the Rings films, took a creative approach-he used clever camera angles to make characters seem bigger or smaller than they really were. in this way 辅助 jump up and down 上蹿下跳 the aid of ...的帮助 prefer 首选 1.

Just as the poor passengers on the real Titanic saw the tip of the iceberg, what we see on the cinema screen is just the tip of the huge iceberg of film-making. Hopefully, next time you go to the cinema, you'll spare a thought for all those talented people behind the scenes. They have worked for months and even years so that you can have two hours of enjoyment! be able to do sth. 能够去做某事 the tip of the iceberg 冰山一角 1. What conclusion can you draw from the lecture?
