1. Bad guys don't use Apple products.
American director Ryan Johnson, who recently released Knives Out, talked about funny details in his film and the film industry in general that can help viewers understand who the bad guys are in any movie. The bad guys will never have an Apple product in their hands. The company allows creators to use their devices on one condition: the devices should only be used by the good guys.
2. In the past, 3D movies caused people to feel dizzy more often than they do today.
Today, when creating 3D movies, creators avoid the effect of something flying right at you. The fact is that our brain does not understand that the pictures we see are just an illusion. The eyes try to react as if they were real physical objects. But in the end, the brain simply strains the eye muscles, resulting in dizziness, headache, and nausea.
3. Children who star in horror films often don't know what the film is about.
In most cases, children in horror films are unaware that they are doing horror films. Filming is rarely done in chronological order, and it would be very difficult for a child to get a clear picture of what is happening in the film. There's nothing scary on set either: music and sounds are added to post-production, and all the costumes, masks, mannequins and other things look funny, not scary in real life.
4. Scenes with mirrors are some of the most difficult to create.
Scenes next to mirrors should be done at special angles so that the person and their reflection are visible, but the camera and light are not.
5. There is a special company that provides snow for Hollywood movies.
The snow used in Hollywood movies is artificial. In almost all cases, it is provided by Snow Business.
6. If the extras are looking at the camera, they can be fired.
They cannot look directly into the camera, and they may even be fired for it. Plus, actors who even remotely resemble the main characters won't have much screen time. In addition, it is recommended not to wear white clothing or clothing with large lettering, so as not to distract attention from the main focus of the scene.
7. Real food is rarely used in movies.
Very often, the food that appears in the movies is actually made from inedible materials. Do you remember the foods you saw in the Great Hall in the Harry Potter movies? The thing is, the food was only real in the first movie. It deteriorated very quickly, so it had to be replaced over and over again. In the following films, most of the products were made from resin.
8. There is a reason the background must be green for special effects.
When creating special effects, directors use a bright green colored background, since the color is as close as possible to the colors of the human eye. If the actor's eyes are green, they can use a blue background. In addition, the character, accessories, and all items will not be green in scenes shot with this background. This technique can greatly reduce the time it takes to edit scenes.
