You know those movies we love, that we watched 100 times and never got sick of? Well, it probably doesn't take place where you believe it was recorded.
Overall, the Chroma Key is responsible for this. Also known as a green or blue background, Chroma Key is the cinematographic technique of changing the background in a computerized way. Many high-profile and successful films have gone through this process in several scenes and turn movie moments into iconic and eternal.
Films can also be enhanced with special effects, graphically assembled scenes or even mock-up sets for optical illusion. Shall we remember some of these moments? We separate 5 scenarios that simply don't exist in real life. Look:

1. Pirates of the Caribbean
In films where the story takes place in the ocean, there is always a greater difficulty to reproduce.
In the case of Pirates of the Caribbean, the production developed a support with the boats attached, blue Chroma Key and, of course, many special effects. In the image below, Jack Sparrow loses a little of his dourness when seen in the studio, doesn't he?
2. Twilight
In Twilight, there is the use of many special effects not only in the setting, but in the entire composition of the plot, during fights, flights, hunts and of course, the characters that shine in the sun and transform into animals.
In the following image, the use of Chroma Key was a funny solution to reproduce one of the wolves of the saga. Here's Jacob:
3. Harry Potter
Yes, some scenarios make us think they are absurdly large, when in fact, it's the opposite.
The famous Hogwarts castle (which we are all still waiting for the letter of invitation to fly through the window one day) is actually a miniature created by architects especially for this purpose!

4. Lord of the Rings
Probably one of the movies with the most mockup sets ever. The film has several environments and miniature castles, which look like giant buildings when we are in front of the screens. Compare the ratio between the set and a behind-the-scenes collaborator
5. Alice in Wonderland
Even the old adventurous little girl from children's books got into the montage dance.
Just take a look at the paraphernalia the actors are using to play those crazy characters. Apart from clothes, they also end up creating 3D effects and chaotic environments.
real scenarios
It is worth remembering that not all scenarios are fake. Some real places received the actors and the film crew, and were the scene of great moments in the history of cinema. Let's list some scenarios that are actually just common places out of reach of cameras.
The Untouchables
The film takes place in Chicago, and was actually shot in Chicago. Some scenes take place in recognizable places. One of the most famous is inside Union Station, an important train station in the city.
Lord of the Rings
Look at him again. Yes, it's not just a model that made this magnificent work. Remember the Shire, where the Hobbits live? He exists! It's a huge set with the characters' homes still intact, and it's open to the public for fans to visit.
Unfortunately, it is located a bit far away, more specifically in New Zealand.
Star Wars
Much of the famous saga of the interstellar rebels takes place in a region of Ireland. Some scenes from two films in the saga were recorded there. She is represented in the film as a rocky planet. Is that you? Did you know about these curiosities?
The editing resources are immense for these cases and really make us think about exploring these places that actually don't even exist. This is one of the magic of cinema!
