The use of special effects is found in a big part of modern films. There are different types of special effects, one of them being CGI, also known as computer generated imagery. CGI is the process in which computer graphics are used to create images in media. The movie Avatar, broadcasted in 2009 and produced and directed by James Cameron, used around 70% of imagery created by CGI, including the lead character of the film. The use of CGI was a major component of the movie, as it was set in a different planet, and it successfully help to portrait the 3D version of that alien life.
Another type of special effect is the bullet time, which is the creation of a visual effect in which there is an impression of detaching the time and space of the viewer from the visible object, creating a slow motion effect. The Matrix is a movie that used bullet time effect and became a famous reference when talking about this type of special effect, as the scene in which two characters are fighting in slow motion, became a cult scene in the history of modern cinematography.
