Going to the cinema or watching a film on Netflix is a very normal thing for us.

As an introduction to today's topic you will first read a small article and watch a video. After the video you will do a short warming up exercise.
'Venom': Tom Hardy shares 'awkward' footage of epic fight scene without CGI
Without the CGI effects, the fight scene from 'Venom' looks more like an elaborate dance and not in a good way.
At this point, Hollywood would be dead without CGI. From 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' to 'Avengers: Endgame', some of the biggest movies of recent times, especially in the high-action superhero genre, have shown the wonders that are possible with CGI but what happens when you take out the effects and leave the raw footage?
Well, Tom Hardy has shared a video that illustrates just that. The actor shared a BTS video of the battle between Venom (Hardy) and Riot (Riz Ahmed) on his Instagram and it is awkward as hell.
"Not remotely awkward BTS snippet recorded by Kelly Marcel Venom 1 physical theatre 101," Hardy captioned the video. He continued the description of the video in the comments writing "Footloose" and "This is how to face pull".

listen to mono-/dialogue and can understand the main points and subject spoken about.
understand what purpose CGI has in moviemaking
understand and use adjectives and advebrs correctly in a sentence.
To test your newly acquired knowledge you are going to do a short writing assignment.
Assignment 3 - Mulan
Example review Dolittle
Let’s begin with the elephant in the room - Robert Downey Jr, and more specifically, that baffling Welsh accent. Though a unique choice of lead nationality, this bizarre inflection requires Downey to speak in a low, husky tone throughout to maintain verisimilitude. That accent is the least of his problems however, as Director Stephen Gaghan delivers his vision with such a whimper that even Iron Man himself is somehow unfocused, voiceless, and just a bit of a meanie. For an actor who’s usually a joy to watch for his chameleon-like charm, it’s really an achievement of Gaghan to direct such a woefully misinformed performance.

Special Effects session IV - Practical Effects
In the previous lesson you learned about CGI and how CGI effects movies nowadays. In this lesson you will see and hear about movies that came out quite recently. You will see how, instead of using computers, film makers use practical effects. Practical effects are the effects made with real life objects. For example, movie producers can choose to use real explosives and fire instead of fake explosions made and shaped on a computer. Prosthetic make-up used to change or add on to the body of an actor changes their appearance. Optical . If you have seen movies like The Dark Knight, Inception or Interstellar, you will notice that there are a lot of shots that are impossible in real life. The director, Christopher Nolan, doesn't always like to use CGI. That is why a lot of his movies use real life effects to create the shots for his movies. A spinning hallway or exploding objects in the streets of Paris.
