Have you ever seen a movie in which a building was burned down or a bridge was destroyed? Have you seen films in which two trains crashed or a ship      into the ocean? If     , you may have wondered how these things could happen without         the actors and actresses in the film.
The man who knows the          is the “special-effects” man. He has one of the most important      in the film industry. He may be ordered to          a flood or to make a battlefield explode. But he may also be told to create a         effect which is much less exciting,       just as important to the success of the film.
In a         for one movie there was a big glass bowl filled with water in which small fish were swimming. The director of the movie          the fish to stop swimming suddenly       they seemed to stare at (盯着看) an actor. Then the director wanted the fish to         staring and swim. But fish can’t be ordered to do anything. It was quite a         .
The special-effects man thought about the problem for a long time. The result was an idea for         the fish with a harmless use of electricity.       he applied electricity to the fish bowl causing the fish to be absolutely       . Then he rapidly reduced the amount of         , allowing the fish to be free. Thus he got the humourous effect the        wanted.
In other parts of movie making there are also special-effects men who have developed        skills in creating certain kinds of effects. Jim White, who has been a special- effects man for thirty-two years, is best known for his          with ships and airplanes.
