Cinema is built upon illusions

Cinema is built upon Illusions; Sets recreate reality, Editing manipulates Time, Visual Effects do the impossible.

The first and fundamental illusion is Motion. When images are shown fast enough, our brain looses its ability to show individual frames and blends them together into a single moving image.

There are some theories on how this works:

1. The Phi Phenomenon
2. Beta movement
3. Persistence of Vision
