Third Dimension

We have just started to think about possible dissertation ideas today and initially i could not think of anything to build upon the obvious 'film' choice however with the upcoming interactivity project about to begin i would possibly like to tie this up with my main idea for that particular project...3D film.

3D movies have seen a massive resurgence in recent years with big films like 'Beowulf' & 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' making a large amount of money in the box office and having seen the latter in 3D was pretty impressive. What is more important however is the fact that many upcoming movies are being made with 3D as a top priority, big films include 'Toy Story 3' & James Cameron's 'Avatar' and are gaining a huge amount of audience anticipation.

Other elements i would like to investigate is that a lot of recent films have had a large majority of scenes filmed for IMAX cinemas, when 'The Dark Knight' came out this summer a lot was made in the promotion about the IMAX sequences and actually managed to help the IMAX company trim its third quarter financial loss. IMAX and 3D also go hand-in-hand very well with 3D films like 'The Polar Express' making almost half its profits from the format and is generally regarded as an important cinematic landmark and one of the biggest movies of all time if seen as its film makers intended in 3D IMAX.

My initial idea for the interactivity project was alway to make an engaging audience-involved movie in 3D anaglyph vision (Blue&Red) and have the audience members wearing the colour corresponding glasses.
