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
• Schufftan 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

There are many ways one could use the in-camera effect. The in-camera effect is something that often goes unnoticed but can play a critical part in a scene or plot. A popular example of this type of effect is seen in Star Trek , in which the camera is shaken to give the impression of motion happening on the scene. Another simple example could be using a wine glass to give the effect that "ghosting, flares, and refractions" from DIY photography. ^[1]
