n.phr.
Subject Field: Cinematography

In this type of composite photography, the compositing is done on an optical printer. Both the foreground and background scenes are printed onto a dupe negative. A silhouette (male) matte is employed to prevent the background scene from exposing the area occupied by the FG action. A cover (female) matte is used to protect the background scene from veiling when the FG action is printed onto the dupe negative. Various illuminators have been used including Ultraviolet, Infrared, and Sodium. Ryan			- Contains - Traveling matte - Hyponyms - Single film Dual film Bibliography Index Home Conceptual tree
Context: In general, the effectiveness of an effects shot depends on the care with which it is executed and the context into which it is edited. Just as a film can be salted with lip-sync shots and appear to be completely lip-sync, a film like Devil Doll or King Kong can interweave normal production shots, production effects shots, and laboratory matte shots, yielding the impression that the scale effects are continuous. Having seen the actress climb onto a gigantic prop, the viewer will carry over some of that impression of realism when watching the actress being held aloft by the mad doctor in a traveling matte shot; the matte shot will seem less "faked", and both will give the impression of having really happened, which is what "realism" means in this context.
