Specific Innovation of Interest: 3D technology in films
Rationale for selecting this Innovation:
Personally, I am interested in the film industry. Since the 3D technology has changed things, I want to learn how it has changed the way the film industry works and explore the future possibilities.
Executive Summary
How 3D technology has affected the film industry and how will it continue to affect it.
Background/Introduction
3D movies first started out mostly on animated films, however, as time passes, the 3D technology has improved to live-action films as well. The screen is not “flat” anymore. As technology improves, we may no longer have to wear uncomfortable 3D glasses in the cinema. Actually, we do not even need to go to the cinemas to experience the 3D effect!
Historical Perspective
Mass entertainment has moved from live plays/musicals/opera/concerts, to flim screening in the cinemas or television. We thought that cinemas were the best we could get if we wanted to watch movies. Now, we can have a combination of both!
Current Situation
Movies have always been on the flat screen (using a projector to project the image on to the screen), though the sound effects and interesting footages on the screen can make you thrilled, the introduction of the 3D effect in movies simply adds on to the experience. From using it primarily on animated films, the 3D technology has moved on to live-action films. Usually, the 3D effect only shows off in a small part of a film, but now, it is possible to watch the whole movie in 3D. It is even possible to watch a concert at only a fraction of its original price, halfway across the globe.
Future Considerations
3D technology today is largely based on movies in cinemas. Though there are 3D televisions available in the market, but it was not a blockbuster. With improvements in technology, more people may be more keen on owning a 3D television at home, and not only will it be based on movies, but also for TV series. Also, 3D technology can also improve to make films that are interactive for the audience.
Conclusion
As the world changes and the 3D technology improve, there are many possible things that we can do with this technology. The film industry can use this opportunity to attract audiences back into the cinemas instead of them downloading illegally, watching it at home.
Hi Gladys,
ReplyDeleteI would suggest for you to focus your paper more on what are the possible things that we can do with this 3D tech.
Recall, the aim behind this paper is to challenge yourself critically in terms of analyzing or even speculating the future trend and changes regarding this tech that you have chose rather than to recap its evolution.
Other than that, you are on the right track! Keep it up!
Any questions do feel free to email or approach me in class.
