The Future Movie

            Last class, an interesting topic in our discussion was presented. In the future, it’s predicted that there will be a multi-screen presentation for audiences viewing films. Personally, I believe this would change the process of filmmaking, but I do not believe it would be very popular.

            Filmmaking would change forever, not only for the audience, but also for the artists producing the films. First of all, multi-screen would provide the audience with a new sense of freedom, because they would be able to choose what they wanted to see as opposed to having no choice to. From a production point of view, films may take longer to make, due to the lack of resources (Cameras). Also, time is money on set.  It may be interesting to experience, but the films will need higher budgets to be successful.

            Budget is the bare minimum for my opinion on struggle with success. Adding multi-screens and giving the audience options almost completely removes the artistic freedom and sense of storytelling for the filmmakers. The aesthetic value and the art of film will be completely diminished. The occupation of Directing in movies may as well be on the same level as the production assistant at that point.

            I think multi-screen entertainment will happen, but it will never be on the same level or in the same lane as traditional filmmaking. The art of filmmaking is too original and unique to lose its value. If people want to view stories their own way with a freedom to experience what they decide to watch, they can play video games or watch a play. Filmmaking is an art; it can never be changed to the extent of multi-screen freedom viewing. Making this prediction is like saying in the future; someone can view a painting and personally choose the color and content of the piece of art.
