Using stock footage in the movies.

Magic in the movies is great effects and great importation of stock footage. No body really knows what they are watching or how movies are really made unless they research that particular movie or watch documentaries that filmmakers sometimes create on the making of a certain movie. Most of the movies you see now on TV or at the movie houses, have at least a few stock footage clips in them because the filmmakers want to make a profit off of their movies and the less money they have to spend on making the movie, the more profit they will get in the end so when they can use stock footage, they do.
