In this technological age, use of machines and systems is rapidly replacing more traditional means. Take for instance, computer generated imagery, otherwise known as CGI (insert cited definition here). Computer generated imagery is prevalent in a vast amount of the visuals we humans are exposed to, regardless of whether we realize it or not. It has had such a tremendous impact on different industries, such as design, manufacturing, entertainment, business and education. Under the category of entertainment, an example of use of computer generated imagery is that of its use in the video production industry, which includes film, television, music videos and visual advertisements. Undoubtedly, this recent development has led to accelerated advancements …show more content…
The film industry utilizes this technology in ways such as special effects, animations and the creation of characters. The beginnings of the increasing use of computers to create images in Hollywood can be traced back to the 1970s, such as special effects in 1973’s Westworld, a film of the sci fi genre, in which a two minute long sequence used the pixelization process, a computer generated effect still used to this date. It has been theorized that this movie, despite its low budget, offset the start of the CGI “revolution.”(http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/how-michael-crichtons-westworld-pioneered-modern-special-effects) A major turning point in cinema CGI was in the 1982 sci fi Disney movie, Tron. For this movie, a sequence lasting twenty minutes of 3 dimensional graphics was created, yet due to the movie’s lacklustre earnings at the box office coupled with its expensive production costs, much of Hollywood was discouraged from furthering the CGI movement. (https://design.osu.edu/carlson/history/lesson14.html) In addition to this, despite the amount of promise the use of computers in creating effects, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences thought this to be “cheating”, and Tron failed to receive a nomination for the special effects catgeory.

In Tim Burton films, audiences cannot miss the peculiar, mysterious, and odd patterns that Burton instills in each and every one of his movies. From films like Big Fish, Edward Scissorhands, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory audiences can see a bit of his twisted reality and images from his head come life through the screen. A series of Camera Movements, Lighting, and Camera Angles makes viewers see things through Burtons eyes. In the Films “Edward Scissorhands” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” camera movements like Dolly were used to make things appear important although those important events were different. For example, in the movie Edward Scissorhands, the dolly effect was used in the scene where Edward was scratching the
One movie that I enjoyed due to the production design is Avatar. The production design team did a wonderful job of illustrating what life was like on the planet, Pandora, from the creators such as the dragons and the planet life. The designs that I really enjoyed were the scenes displaying the Tree of Souls. Another film with wonderful production designs is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
` In May of 1977, Star Wars: A New Hope was released with overwhelmingly positive reviews and marking a new era in cinema. The writer and director of the film, George Lucas, decided to expand upon the Star Wars universe in 1999 by making Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, with a story that took place before the original film’s story. This movie was made with advanced equipment and cutting-edge CGI (for 1999), nonetheless, the movie was panned by critics and enraged an entire generation of moviegoers. The answer to why this happened lies in the differences between the two films: use of special effects, construction of characters, and complexity of plot. “A special effect is a tool, a means of telling a story.

In film making, Visual Effects means creating a processed image with a brand new environment outside the context of a live shot, because VFX allow to create a unique world or places that may be impossible to capture, expensive to reach, impractical for acting or just dangerous. Furthermore, Visual Effects help to give a realistic look to the live action footage, as well as a brand new world totally integrated in it. According to the history, we can say that Visual Effects have been used in films almost from the beginning of film creation: it’s easy to remember George Méliès, a French magician and film director who used Visual Effects extensively around the 1900s and 1910s.

CGI in the past 20 years have greatly improved and continues to improve every single day. Most movies anymore use CGI a lot since it gives it the wow factor and gets people’s attention. I think it’s silly to risk your talent and crew alike because if you injury an A-List celebrity, then there could be a big chance that the movie production company will get sued. If you were to injury a crew member or a talent, it can also lead to deadly consequences. Some examples would be with Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future III, the scene where he is hanging with the rope around his neck, he isn’t standing on anything and people didn’t realize that he was unconscious for about 30 seconds.
When watching movies like Captain America: Civil War, oftentimes viewers think CGI only happens with explosions and set manipulations. But that is not entirely true. Take Black Panther for example. The audience may think that Chadwick Boseman is wearing his suit in the movie. In fact, that is not the case.
In most documentary style films, they show graphic images of real tragedies using camera footage. Often this is so disturbing it results in viewers stopping the film or not watching it in the first place. Fortunately, this dilemma is averted thanks to the animation
