Points of Convergence: Conceptualizing the Appeal of 3D Cinema Then and Now --Notes --Selected Bibliography --Index --Back matterCinematic Appeals follows the effect of technological innovation on the cinema experience, specifically the introduction of widescreen and stereoscopic 3D systems in the 1950's, the rise of digital cinema in the 1990's, and the transition to digital 3D since 2005. Widescreen cinema promised to draw the viewer into the world of the screen, enabling larger-than-life close-ups of already larger-than-life actors. This technology fostered the illusion of physically entering a film, enhancing the semblance of realism. Alternatively, the digital era was less concerned with the viewer's physical response and more with information flow, awe, and the reevaluation of spatiality and embodiment. This study ultimately shows how cinematic technology and the human experience shape and respond to each other over time.Film and cultureFilm and Culture SeriesMotion picture audiencesTechnology in motion picturesCinematographyTechnological innovationsDigital cinematographyElectronic books.Motion picture audiences.Technology in motion pictures.CinematographyTechnological innovations.Digital cinematography.302.23/43Rogers Ariel1031541MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462908503321Cinematic appeals2466616UNINA
