The technology of making films

Technology
·         Technology has radically changed the way movies are filmed, especially insofar as computer-generated imagery (CGI) has not only reduced the cost of building sets but also allows actors to magically morph into different beings. For example, the superhero films are extremely prevalent these days. It is not only because people admire superheroes who have super power to save the world, but also because the magic background is quite real, thanks to the advanced technology. For example, in ‘Green Lantern’ the signature power of all Green Lanterns is the ability to conjure "constructs": solid green objects that the Green Lantern can control telekinetically. These can be anything, such as a disembodied fist to beat a foe, a shield to block an attack, a sword to cut a rope, or chains to bind a prisoner. Whatever their shape or size, these constructs are always pure green in color. With the assists of the film technology, all the power effects are accompanied by a green light, which is fantastic and convincing.

·         The technology can also create all manner of natural and manmade disasters without actually destroying anything. ‘2012’ is a well-known 2009 American science fiction disaster adventure film. All the disaster appeared in the movie are so verisimilar that as if the audiences experienced the tsunami themselves, which established the fame of the movie.
