special effects (FX)

those visual elements in movies and television such as fog, smoke, lightning, breaking furniture, snow, or the like, that are used to effect reality in the picture or videospace and that are either impossible or impractical to produce firsthand.

In television, electronic effects such as dissolves, freeze-frames, montages, and others requiring auxiliary electronic equipment are also categorized as special effects.
