In-camera effect

An in-camera effect is any special effect in a video or movie that is created solely by using techniques in and on the camera and/or its parts. The in-camera effect is defined by the fact that the effect exists on the original camera negative or video recording before it is sent to a lab or modified. So effects that modify the original negative at the lab, such as skip bleach or flashing, are not included. Some examples of in camera effects include:

• Matte painting
• Schüfftan process
• Forced perspective
• Dolly zoom
• Lens flares
• Lighting effects
• Filtration such as using a fog filter to simulate fog, or a grad filter to simulate sunset.
• Shutter effects.
• Time-lapse, slow motion, fast motion, and speed ramping.
• Bipacks
• Slit-scan
• Infrared photography
• Reverse motion
• Front projection
• Rear projection
• Phonotrope a live animation technique that uses the frame-rate of a camera
