1. BEGINNING OF SPECIAL EFFECTS

2. WE ALL KNOW THAT VFX EFFECTS ARE USED IN MOVIES TO GIVE
SPECIAL EFFECTS. BUT EVER YOU WONDERED THAT HOW SPECIAL
EFFECTS WERE GIVEN IN THE MOVIES WHEN THERE WAS NO SUCH
SOFTWARE AVAILABLE?

3. THE EXECUTION OF MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS
The Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots was the first ever movie
which used magical special effects in the film industry. It was 18
seconds long film directed by Alfred Clark. The effect that used is
known as Stop-Action Substitution. In that movie, the executioner
raises his axe to chop head of blindfolded Mary. But at that
instance, an edit was done in which Mary was replaced by a
mannequin.

4. THE MAN WITH THE RUBBER HEAD
In this movie, there was a scene showing a chemist trying to fix
is own head upon a rubber with a pair of bellows and begins to
blow. Immediately the size of head starts increasing. To create
the illusion of an expanding head, Melies “zoomed” in on his
own head with a camera and superimposed it onto the film. This
effect is known as Split-Screen-Masking.

5. THE WINDSOR HOTEL FIRE
When fire hits the hotel, there were many guests
trapped in the building. Some were rescued but because
of intense fire some jumped from the building and some
died in that fire. The victims who jumped from the
buildings were replaced by miniatures as well as the
building was also miniature made from cardboard.

6. THE CORSICAN BROTHERS
This film was released in 1909 by George Albert Smith. He used
‘Double Exposure’ technique to create a ghost of a man that
appears to his twin brother and shows him the visual of how he
died.
The impressive thing about all these movies are that they were on
screens before VFX effects came into existence. Without such
movies innovation in special effects might not have taken place.
