Introduction A. Background of the Study Films develop from sound films to technicolor. Nowadays, there is another breakthrough of movie-making technology ─ 3D movie. This technology brings another kind of visual impact on those who love to see movies. Although there were also 3D movies before, the manufacture technology of 3D movie was not mature yet. Therefore, it didn't cause much reaction from the audience. In recent years, the development of 3D movie becomes more and more prosperous. Though the 3D movie tickets are more expensive than the 2D movie’s, the audience is still willing to spend money enjoying a feast of 3D movie. B. Motivation of the Study More and more people tend to see 3D movies. But the 3D movie’s tickets are much more expensive than 2D movie’s. Why do they still want to see it? What motivate them to see it? 1. Describe the history and the development of 3D movies 2. To assay the key points of success of 3D films and the satisfaction of consumer 3. To offer some pieces of advice to the 3D Film II. Methods A.

B. Questionnaires Survey Our group uses 100 questionnaires to survey the customers' satisfaction about 3D movies then analyze the information cautiously. 100 questionnaires were distributed to students and teachers. Valid questionnaires were 10 from teacher and 90 from students; among these participants, 50 were females, and 50 were males. 1 The New Favorite Of Film Industry: Three-dimensional Film III. Findings A. The development of 3D movies 3D movie is what we called three-dimensional film. Therefore, 3D movie refers that it can simulate the real dimension space. Chart 1. The development of 3D movies Time The important events William Fleiss Green invented the first 3D film screening and watch device in the world. The two frame will be showed at the same times on the screen , the audiences could watch the movie through 3D glasses to get 1890 stereoscopic. Cumbersome and complex equipment, lack practical promotional, although having applied for a patent, but there were no movie theaters want to adopt it. Foley Derek‧Eugene Elvis invented the stereoscopic camera. 1900 It simulated human eye mechanism. With two 4.5am away from the lens. Movie "Buster" director Edwin S. Porter and William E. Waddell make 1915 an experiment on their red and greem stereoscopic movies. France , Lumiere Lumi started to use three-dimensional camera (equipped with two separated 1 3 / 4 feet of the lens) to shoot video. 1933 Louis Lumiere to 1895's "Train Stop" a copy of the film re-two, brushed the color of red and blue separately, using the method of complementary color to re-screen in 1934. Movie, "Bwana Devil" was the first 3D feature movie that feature 3D movie affection. The film also makes use of dual-projector while playing two rolls of 1952 film of complementary colors. With the audience wearing complementary colors glasses made of cardboard. It can make an affection of 3D image. Director Allan Silliphant and optical division Chris Condon co-invent a new 3D movie technique, called "Stereovision" 1970 It no longer needs two rolls of film on two projectors while broadcasting the movie and use one film and one projector. This breakthrough can reduce a lot of mistakes on the projectors 2 The New Favorite Of Film Industry: Three-dimensional Film while 50s. Documentary, "Transitions", which first used IMAX movie theater. The technology theory of IMAX 3D still take advantage of the 1986 parallax of the two eyes. Using two 2.5-inch away from showing the film in IMAX film projector simultaneously projected onto the screen. The movie "The Polar Express" is the first feature film that used IMAX 3D projection systems. Not only in IMAX 3D film history but also the entire 3D film history, It has played an important turning point in the history of 2004 the first and launched show, two kinds of 2D and IMAX 3D version of the film. Because before this film, the film-makers, box office considerations, always in a 2D version of the film after the launch of the next file IMAX 3D version The movie "Chicken Little " made by Disney is first used Digital 3D Cinema projection system. The film first step using computer graphics technology to 2005 produce their own CGI animation of 2D. In line with the digital 3D cinema distribution channels, Disney commissioned the "Star Wars" director George Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic to the original digitized 2D film to 3D stereoscopic processing. The movie "Avatar" became the 3D classic work of the movie history. 2009 This film used the 3D Fusion Camera system and a innovative shooting technique called Virtual Camera. B. The key points of success of 3D films and the satisfaction of consumer Chart 2. SWOT of 3D movies Strengths Virtual reality allows the viewer experiencing the situation personally Because of the technology developed as a new type of VR movie playback mode, consumers wear glasses and have a different visual experience. Add creative elements of innovation Different types of films gradually change into 3D movies, like The Polar Express, Avatar, Resident Evil Afterlife and so on. The more elements of innovation the more it can satisfy the consumer's preferences. Have diverse 3D movies 3 The New Favorite Of Film Industry: Three-dimensional Film Movie subject matter has become increasingly rich, not restrain on the science fiction movies, new movies has been non-stop to weed through the old to bring forth the new in recent years. Use new photo-taking tools With the technology advances, the photo-taking tools are also making progress, giving to the audience's senses with even better. Opportunities 3D movies are loved by consumers Because of 3D movie is a new type of movie revolution, different from the past ideas and excellent sound-surround ambiance. It is easy to catch the consumers' eyes. To promote the movie industry innovation Because of the progressive of 3D movies revolution, it brings not only the revolution of form but also brought along the idea of creative revolution. It's easy to correct the defect. The movie entrepreneurs can use the questionnaire to know what consumers need and the defects of 3D movies, they can easily correct these problems. To push forward the business opportunity of peripheral products With rise of 3D movies, the peripheral products of movies are sold better than movies. Weaknesses The photo-taking costs are expensive Movie entrepreneurs hope that 3D movies can become the pioneer in the industry, but because of the high cost and limited production, the 3D technology was restricted. In addition, 3D movies need to use special equipments, also 3D glasses are another cost. Traditional movies tickets' prices were higher than ever. Most of people think that the 3D movies tickets are too expensive. Therefore, if movie entrepreneurs can discount the ticket prices, meeting the special holiday, i believe that the consumers will be more acceptable to the new trend of 3D movies. The shortcomings of 3D glasses have not been improved completely. Wearing 3D glasses will make people feel uncomfortable. The news even used to report that it will make you have dim eyesight and the feeling of vomiting. Threats 3D movies' environment still need to be improved Some people think it's not convenient that they have to go to a larger cinema or where has better device. It means that 3D movies are not universalization so 3D movies' environment still have to be improved. 4 The New Favorite Of Film Industry: Three-dimensional Film 3D movies industry compete closely Nowadays, more and more movies were be made into 3D special efficacy so if 3D movies industry want to attract consumers, they have to have better spots Consumers acceptance 3D movies have not been accepted by the public. Under all sorts of factor consideration, 3D movies sill have to be corrected. C. Results of questionnaire analysis Figure1 shows that about 65% of 35% people have seen 3Dmovies while about 35% of people haven’t seen 65% before. According to this, we can infer that 3D movies have caused some Yes No attractions to consumers. Figure1.

Frequency of going to see 3D movies in recent two years According to figure4, we can know that most of people didn’t see 3D movies very often so we also can infer that 3D movies haven’t gained all people’s favor.

    preservation The River Oaks Theater: Saved from the Wrecking Ball? The stunning auditorium of the River Oaks Theater features “Land” and “Sea” reliefs flanking the screen. The “Sea” detail is shown at left. Photo courtesy of Preservation Houston. By Ramona L. Hopkins or over seventy years the River Oaks Theater has operated at 2009 West Gray in FHouston’s affluent River Oaks community. Although the theater has changed over the years, it remains an integral part of Houston, the city’s culture and history, and of the movie industry in the second half of the twentieth century. The River Oaks Theater was the tenth Interstate Theater to open in a seven-year period and one of the last Art Deco buildings constructed in the city. Other historic theaters have been closed and demolished. Like them, the River Oaks Theater has also found its existence threatened. Ever since a group of women fought to save President George Washington’s home in the mid-nineteenth century, groups have fought to preserve homes, churches, parks, and commercial buildings. In the 1960s and 1970s, organizations formed to protect the old movie theaters that were a central feature of most cities and towns. Communications professor Janna Jones argues, “Old movie theaters produce powerful feelings of nostalgia.”1 The building itself, for many, serves as a real connection with the past. Everybody has memories of going to the theater with family and friends, the food they ate, the sights and sounds, and the film’s ability to transport them into another world. “To see a unit etched in our cultural memory reduced to rubble is a disturbing experience, one that severs tangible connections to our individual and collective heri- tage,” architect Joseph M.

  • Netflix Is the Future of Film the Film Industry Could Learn a Thing Or Two from the Streaming Service
    FUTURE SOCIETY Hollywood is Wrong: Netflix is the Future of Film The film industry could learn a thing or two from the streaming service. Kristin HouserApril 20th 2018 https://futurism.com/epidiolex-fda-committee-marijuana-drug The film industry has sent a clear message to Netflix: You can’t sit with us. Industry insiders clearly think Netflix’s films are somehow “less than” those released in theaters. Steven Spielberg told ITV News the streaming service’s releases shouldn’t be eligible for Oscars. Christopher Nolan told IndieWire he would never work with the company. Cannes banned Netflix’s films from competition, prompting Netflix’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos to pull allof the service’s films from the festival, even the ones that weren’t eligible to win anything. “We want our films to be on fair ground with every other filmmaker,” Sarandos told Variety. And why shouldn’t they be? They star A-list actors (Will Smith, Adam Sandler). They’re helmed by respected directors (Martin Scorsese, Noah Baumbach). And they truly do compete with movie-theater films, scoring Oscar nominations and winning other prestigious awards. Film industry haters should really reconsider. Even the snobbiest film buffs can’t deny that Netflix is bringing something positive to the world of cinema. Instead of lashing out against Netflix, the industry could benefit by embracing some of what Netflix is doing right. First, the film industry might want to take more risks. “Studios are lagging behind for the very simple reason that they are relying on retreads and reboots, and most of those aren’t being well received,” Jeff Bock, an expert on film industry trends at Exhibitor Relations, told Business Insider.

    Running head: Netflix as Cinematheque 1 Netflix as Cinematheque Soojin Park Moving Image Archiving and Preservation, New York University CINE-GT 3049: Culture of Archives, Museums & Libraries Instructor: Barbara Mathé Spring 2019 Netflix as Cinematheque 2 Netflix as Cinematheque Our reliance on online streaming platforms is now bigger than ever, and have completely changed our relationship with film and television. Before the emergence of online streaming platforms such as Amazon Prime, Hulu, YouTube, and Netflix, audiences were not able to play, pause, and change contents as they wished. Although this is not to say that the programming choices for television and theaters were not reflective of audiences’ demands back then, it’s true that online steaming platforms have put the power back in the hands of the viewer by giving them the ability to watch what they want, when they want to watch it. According to online community platform for media, entertainment, and technology IBC365, “Netflix rarely releases data about its content but recently broke cover to claim that 45 million accounts, nearly a third of its total, had streamed the Sandra Bullock thriller (and Netflix original) Bird Box (2018) in its first week on the platform (Pennington, 2019)”. The film and television industries all over the world, most of all Hollywood, are being forced to change their business models to compete. After all, this is the year when box office revenues for movies are predicted to be overtaken by over-the-top (OTT) revenues for the first time according to analyst firm Ampere Analysis (Pennington, 2019). Steven Spielberg has recently made a controversial comment on how online streaming platform-produced films that do not screen in theaters for ninety days should have no place at the Oscars.
