Another idea from Ángela Bernardo (March 10, 2016) is that color technology such as Technicolor has transformed the movie industry and the way Hollywood creates films. In 1916 Technicolor, one of the most important advancement arrived. Which allowed films makers to record in color. Technicolor was a photographic chemical process that managed to introduce color into movie frames. Technicolor was based on the Kinemacolor system which was very successful in England. When Technicolor first arrived it had lots of problems in theatres and was not perfected until 1932.

“Zero” directed by Christopher Kezelos published in 2010 argues the topic of societal values and the effects of self worth vs society’s worth. Kezelos supports his claim through conveying pathos by showing the morals, emotions and perceptions of animated string dolls. Kezelos point of direction with this short film shines a light on society’s views. Kezelos’ pathos driven film motivated the researcher to take technological view of how films can convey emotion. This connected with the Ted Talk, “ The magic ingredient that brings pixar movies to life”.

“Fame once attained can seldom be held- unless early death makes it immortal” (Runcie).The art of filmmaking and the whole idea of entertainment has changed dramatically through the years. Movies have ranged from dramatic expressions and the over the top scenes to portraying  life more realistically. The industry of entertainment with all it’s coups and defeats has come together from silent movies, the starting point of its success technologically and creatively taking cinematic experience to a whole new level.

"The concept of animation - bringing objects to life - has fascinated humankind since its earliest days. Throughout the years, animated movement has been employed in religious, scientific, educational, and entertainment context to explain everything from the spirit world to the mechanics of mundane objects. Some of the most recognizable icons of modern culture have emerged from animated productions, and some of our greatest works of art have been created using multiple frames that have brought still images to life." Maureen Furniss

After watching and analyzing the action adventure film, Indiana Jones - “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” (2008) and the Sci-Fi thriller, The Matrix (1999) many cinematic elements attracted my attention. With three very distinct and ingenious directors, (Spielberg and the Wachowskis siblings) these two films exemplified extraordinary uses of lighting, framing, editing and sound techniques unique to its own genre.

The movie initiated the cyberpunk movement. Ever since the film market has increasingly drifted toward this futuristic setting defined by technology; The Matrix and anime Ghost in the Shell. The isolation in an apparently surreal way influenced iconic films and TV shows alike, such as Mr. Robot, Drive and Lost in Translation. The neon lights with the towering cityscapes created the looks of TRON, Lost in Translation and

In this essay ,I will be comparing two films, The Matrix and Charlie Angels. I will discuss the use of cinematography, the genres of the films, and how effective they are. I will also look at the characters, action, plot ,sound and atmosphere created, and how these are aimed at each film 's target audience.

While movies today often rely on visual effects and present little to no storyline, Blade Runner (1982) uses effects to authenticate its narrative and enhance the vision of the film to a timeless calibre. The use of lighting to create mood and atmosphere allow us to glimpse into a plausible future of disarray and complex malfunction, siting the film as a sort of futuristic, tech-noir. Blade Runner (1982) projects deep, perplexing questions about class, racism, power, ethics and the encompassing definition of humanity. By taking the stylistic techniques of Film Noir and transplanting them into a technical world Ridley Scott presents us with a complex expression of cultural concepts and beliefs to envision a flawed, dystopian future where we

Computer generated imagery or computer generated content is by no means a new concept of technology. In fact, the use of computer generated effects trace back to the 1960’s when it was first used to create 2D animations, but first broke ground in 1973 when it was used in the Science Fiction Thriller, Westworld. The history of computer generated content continued to develop and gain popularity as years rolled passed and movies like Star Wars, The Matrix, and, later, Avatar put CGI on the map. In modern day society, GGI and photoshopped images are very much integrated into the video or photo content that we consume everyday, and in a way that is indistinguishable to the naked eye. Until now, these effects were the creation of billion dollar budgets and teams of specialized animators that worked very hard at making some of the most realistic and beautiful work.

Science fiction films constantly question technology’s role in our lives. Films such as James Cameron’s Terminator 2 (1991), George Lucas’s THX 1138 (1971) and the Wachowski’s, The Matrix (1999), discuss the anxieties and dangers associated with technology. THX 1138 alerts the audience of the control technology has over the people who use it. The Matrix critiques how susceptible people are to believe in the visuals of cinema and reject through reality. Terminator 2 focuses on the unreliably of technology and alerts us of our need to stop relying to machinery and technological development.

This movie has Great special effects for 1977 it made change on movies today that all done on a computer called CGI (computer generated imagery) like with the space effects when Luke is flying his X-wing and Darth Vader is leading his squadron of fights and Luke is getting shot at, and Han Solo comes to save him with the fastest ship in the galaxy called the millennium Falcon.

Societal Change through the Celluloid Wonder Introduction The invention of the motion picture has affected our society in many ways. The invention of the motion picture has led to new inventions and discovery of better technologies. It’s led to the invention of better film cameras and special effects. It has changed the way we view entertainment.

Art has always been, and always will be, our most instinctual way of producing visual adaptions of our inner fantasies. Imaginings that are based on what is real, but appear to belong to another place entirely. One of the most engaging of art forms in which we do this, is film. Its ability to recreate the impossibilities of our imagination, in a way that is realistic and believable, is one that is hard to replace within the genres of science fiction and fantasy. A classic example of such a film is ‘The Matrix’ a science fiction masterpiece directed by The Wachowski Brothers. Released in 1999, the film has an extreme amount of depth not only in its storyline, but in its innovative use of visual effects and camerawork. Therefore in this essay I have decided to critically examine the underlying thematic content of ‘The Matrix’, and the way in which the use of visual effects and cinematography contributed to the execution of its intricate dystopian narrative, and the themes present within it.

Nowadays, there’s usually one: a Gravity, an Avatar, a Life of Pi. An effects feast that seems poised to butt heads, at the Oscars, with a movie like Argo or Spotlight, that sophisticated, actorly drama with accomplished Editing and Cinematography, say, but likely no showy Visual Effects. The Best Picture race has lately felt like a clear choice between two kinds of movies: the technically accomplished, Hollywood-made spectacle, and the sturdy, topical, independent feature.

By making small but significant changes to the conventions of cinema, the artificiality of the
