2 Oscar Winning Movies on the Evolution of Film Industry

With the rapid development of science and technology, the film industry had gone through tremendous changes. With several technological innovations, the world has experienced the era of silent film, sound movie, digital movie and then 3D movie respectively. Since the great achievement of Avatar, 3D movies have always been the winners in the movie market.

However, in the time where everyone is reluctant to pay a ticket for silent film, The Artist had successfully beaten all the other 3D movies and won five Academy Awards in 2012. This is amazing but not surprising because many people think a movie like The Artist deserves those prizes.

Moreover, the tremendous achievements of The Artist have changed people's attitude towards silent films. Before the releasing of Don Juan, silent films prevailed in the market. When sound film started its domination, the lives of the actors had changed dramatically. Therefore this post will present you two movies on the evolution of film industry.

1. Singin' in the Rain

Singin' in the Rain mainly tells a story of how the sound film changes the lives of those superstars in the silent era. In the movie, the hero named Don Lockwood accidentally falls in love with a girl named Kathy. When the company decides to make sound movie, Kathy is asked to voice for Don's partner Lina, an arrogant actress with terrible voice. Don takes a chance to reveal to the audience the truth.

As a two Oscar prizes winner, Singin' in the Rain vividly reflects the great challenges brought by sound film to the film companies at that time. Besides that, the beautiful sounds and excellent dances in the movie are also impressive. In the movie, you will see the origin of some technologies like voicing. In order to make the film perfect, Gene Kelly danced in the rain with high fever.

2. The Artist

As a French movie, The Artist had conquered Academy Awards and as a silent film, it had beaten numerous 3D movies. In 2012 Academy Awards Ceremony, The Artists had gotten five Oscar prizes and become the biggest winner of that night. The Artist mainly focuses on the sufferings of a famous silent film actor named George Valentin after he rejects to act in sound movie.

As a movie on the evolution of film industry, The Artist displays the miserable fates of some actors at that time. In fact, just like Valentin, many famous actors like Buster Keaton had to quit acting in sound movie era. In order to show honors to those actors, The Artist praised actors like Valentin as real artists. Nowadays the DVD version of The Artist is available in the market.

Those are the two Oscar winning videos focusing on the evolution of film industry. They both vividly reflect different sufferings of the actors at that time. For those who want to see those movies with portable devices, they can convert the DVDs with DVD Ripepr.

4 Ways For You To Get Access To 3D Movie

Years ago, a movie named Avatar received 2.7 billion dollars in box office receipts and becomes the most the profitable movie in the world, exceeding Titanic. Nowadays, the sunken Titanic comes back to life and intends to seek for revenges with 3D effects.

In recent years, 3D movie is a word frequently used in both film industry and our daily life. In order to catch up with the trend, many movies are attached with 3D effects hoping to increase their box office receipts. As the fresh feelings gone, people may be boring of the abused 3D effects.

However, that will be another story. At least at present, people think highly of 3D movie. In order to help you access to 3D movie better, this post will present you four ways to get access to 3D movie based on four 3D technologies used at present.

1. Cinema

Of course, it is quite expensive to see a 3D movie like Titanic 3D especially when it turns out to be the debut of the movie. However, the 3D effects you can get are also incomparable. I have once entered the cinema to see Journey to the Central of the Earth, which has left a deep impression on me for its 3D effects. Adopting polarized 3D technology, the cinema makes full use of the large screen there. So watching 3D movie in the cinema will be a good choice for you.

2. 3D TV and 3D laptop

In order to fulfill our desire to watch 3D movie, many producers release their latest product, 3D TV and 3D lap-top. With the application of active-shutter 3D technology, the sight of one of your eyes will be blocked by active-shutter 3D glasses to make sure only one eye can receive the image. The amazing thing is that you are totally unaware of that process. So if you want to watch 3D movie, this is also a good choice for you.

3. 3D mobile

In order to avoid lagging behind, phone makers are trying to develop 3D mobiles and some of them have succeed. There are at least two 3D mobiles available in the market. More importantly, they are adopting glass-free 3D technology. This technology is not that mature as the above two so the 3D effect you get may not be that perfect. However, at least, you have gotten rid of the annoying glasses.

4. Video Converter

The anaglyph 3D technology was applied in an early time and nowadays it can be applied in some apps like Video Converter directly. With anaglyph 3D technology, Video Converter can help you to attach 3D effects to 2D movie after conversion. You need to buy a pair of red/blue anaglyph 3D glasses. The effects may not be that good, but you can watch 3D movie freely with iPad by converting videos to mp4 files for iPad.

Anyway, if you want to watch 3D movie with best effects, go to the cinema. If you want to watch 3D movie at home, buy a 3D TV or 3D lap-top. If you want to watch 3D movie with simplest operation done, buy 3D mobile. If you want to watch 3D movie freely with your iPad, use Video Converter to help you.
