1. Using “Mission to Earth” as an example, note what is new or different about digital cinema compared to traditional filmmaking? Consider the story and appearance of the film.
"Mission to Earth", for me is a special digital film although i found it boring. Traditional filmaking always use different characters' conservation and dialogues to tell the story. However, digital cinema Mission to Earth etc use a storyteller to tells audiences what the story is talking about and there are only a maxium of two characters in the film.
And digital cinema use some special visual effects that makes the film more creative. For example, there are two to three squares in " Mission to earth", one is showing the story, others are showing the pictures, music and lines. Traditional filmaking never use this effect. Also, digital cinema can have some editing after the shooting that traditional filmaking can't. Digital cinema can add some pictures, music and visual effects, but traditional filmaking hasn't this digital technology, it's materials are already here such as the environment, props and people.
"Mission to Earth" just like showing different files, each scene seems like unrelevant and the scenes stop suddenly. It doesn't show in order. I think it likes showing one file, when the file end then next file start. Digital cinema's animation is mixed with live action and traditional filmaking only has live action.
Digital cinema has a better quality and it has 3D effect. 3D visual effects make audiences more participate in the films and more real.
2. What other art forms (eg film, digital art, painting, websites etc) does this film remind you of? Explain the similarity.
Powerpoint is similar to this film. The film use small squares as the screen, and the powerpoint also has square slides. Both of two have some visual or graphic effects such as circles and lines.
Also, i remind a artist that is Piet Mondrian who is "the father of geometric abstraction". His painting has a lot of grids and vertical and horizontal lines and different colors.
