IMAX:
Facts:Imax is a revolutinary motion picturer film format of which of whichfilsm accn bee seen a sfa rmore inpressive and in such great deal of description, to make bthe magical esperince of viewing a film much more entrancing empathatic.
SKYFALL and The Amazing Spiderman were not filmed through IMAX cameras, yet were adapted and optimized for IMAX digital screens . Both films were filmed in high-resolution cameras and the digital negative ratio was equal to that of the IMAX Digital frame. SKYFALL increased the visual information of thewhole majority of the film while Amazing Spider-Man optimized the boss battle with the Lizard.
other distingusihed films that have feature don IMAX are Christopher Nolans Dark Knight Trilogy as well as J.J Abrahms Star Trek and Toy Story 3. The IMAX opening weekends of The Avengers and Harry Potter and the deathly Hallows Part 2 have since grossed a staggering $15 million.
In 2011, IMAX announced a 4K 3D digital camera with the farmiliar wide resolution of the typical IMAX cameras. The camera was developed alongside Vision Research and AbelCine, integrating two Phantom 65 engines. A prototype camera was used for the documentary, Born to be Wild in which approximately 10% of the finished film was shot with the system. It's been said that the new digital camera had no intentions of replacing the higher resolution film cameras but can be used in scenes that require a lightweight or relatively small 3D camera in order to film it without issue. Currently while IMAX has completed the production camera and has been placed into service on several films, there are no plans to produce an IMAX film using solely the new digital system.
My View on 3D Films:
As the years go on, we gain films, either better and supposedly more impressive than last years; but with this positive correlation the film industry feels the need to add many other forms of technology to go with there films. In some cases I feel that this is sensible and a good choice, for I fully support Imax screenings for it is such an magical experience to full envelope oneself into the escapism that should be an entertaining, yet at the same time, educating film ( such as morals and not times tables).But one aspect of technology that I cannot stand is for when it comes down to presenting films, and that is the despicable element that is 3D.
Lets talk about the effects. the ridiculous glasses that you have to wear in order to watch a 3D film would be shameful enough. the glasses themselves are uncomfortable to wear, leaving your nose and the side of your head sore, as the glasses highlight there un-practicality for always seeming to be either too big or too small.
the majority of 3D films are generally only 3D, so as to attract the young audience of which they think is 'cool'. Yet I have been to see 3D films, giving them many chances, and am appalled by it. In my opinion, 3D just looks messy, with irritable objects that fly out at you, taking away your attention from the actual narration of the story that is supposed to be told while watching a film.
A good example was in 2011, on when I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. I loved the film and thought that it was a brilliant conclusion to the franchise (apart from the trios small children at the end, which is sure to be a money grabbing opportunity from warner brothers sometime in the future). But I loved film so much I decided to see the film through a second viewing, only this time is 3D. all though I had read the book and watched the film, the majority of my attention was focused on continuous burst of spells that flew towards the audience. I didn't like it, it broke my attention towards such richly intriguing characters in the potter world. at the end of the film, I came out of the cinema with a splitting headache as had been forced fed too many exploding walls. the whole viewing of that film was jerky and horrid.
As being a fan of superhero films, you can imagine on how exited I was on viewing Man of Steel, the origin of the great superman. Overall it was nicely placed, yet the action sequences were horrific to watch as there were many of them in Snyder's Steel. whole building were ripped apart as the climatic duel between the two Krypton's, Kal-El and Zod took place. You were over washed with all the buildings and rubble that flew towards you. The 3D completely took away the climax of life and death between villain and hero, as made us feel no empathy for other characters who would die during the attack.
for me, 3D takes away the basic elements of a film. To be entertained by it, as well as to someway be educated by it. instead we pay extra to see films that take way the special medium that is film. I thank the directors out there who see the sense about the silliness of 3D, such as Sam Mendes, or Christopher Nolan, whom might I remind those films being quite entertaining, quite educating, and quite a bit successful.
