Since digital cinema has appeared, film can be stored in hard drives and DVD which are portable, small in size and the film can be projected stably while film projector is used in traditional filmmaking. Film is in good quality, including image and sound, and film can be stored in convenient file format after digital cinema emerged.
3D movies and animation start getting popular while traditional filmmaking could only produce film in 2D. 3D movies does give a new definition to "watching experience". Things on screen becomes live and audience no longer just sit there and watch the movie, instead, they seems like particitpating in the movie which enhance the theater experience. (Lev Manovich, "What is Digital Cinema", in Peter Lunenfeld(ed.), The Digital Dialectic, p.173)
Film footages become digitalized, a lot of digital mastering and editing can be done by digital technolgy, so on-location shooting is not the end point, things can be adjusted, changed and modified at the later stage (after the shooting), such as the audio, picture and colour, special effects can be added in the film. It is a new era in term of the filmmaking process. Moreove, it turns out that it brings job opportunities, because the field needs new skillful labor to do the special effects. (Lev Manovich, "What is Digital Cinema", in Peter Lunenfeld(ed.), The Digital Dialectic, p.178)
Because of the new technology, animation can be mixed with live actions, it mixes up the virtue space with the reality. Fictional story is no longer fictional, it comes true now.
2. What other art forms does this film remind me of?
The visual composition of this film reminds me an abstract painting done by Piet Mondrian called Composition ll in Red, Blue and Yellow. Both of them seem like having a grid of the screen, the screen is divided into different sizes of squares. The coloured squares in the painting is like the little square screen in the film.
