3D and Event Movies

Event movies are shown in 3D, shot specifically to enhance and show off 'what 3D can do' - they are usually blockbusters that are either made for 3d or converted to 3d to try and wrong out any other money

Spectacle and immersion

1) Film income decreased by piracy, 3D introduced to "make experience better" and increase attendances, more formulaic Hollywood films

2) Indies get their films seen by a larger audience due to internet exposure and therefore gain an audience that they wouldn't have had otherwise (no income, but they usually do it for the art)

3) Film industry is gaining money through piracy as streaming services are learning to gain money through streaming services by promising higher quality and faster speeds

4) Audiences are getting more formulaic films, that are focused on CGI and being a spectacle rather than being a good film. The gimic of 3D has passed
