Technology - How has 3D technology developed in the cinema?
- 3D cinema first began in the 1950's - 'Bwana Devil' (1952), 'The House of Wax' (1953).
- Known as the 'Golden Age' of 3D films.
- Second wave during the 1980's, with films such as 'Jaws 3-D' (1983) and 'Friday the 13th Part III' (1982).
- Originally dismissed in the 50's due to viewers suffering from headaches, nausea and being put off by poor image quality, as well as the cost and complexity of the equipment used to make 3D films.
- Increasing in popularity in the 00's due to improved technology and to decrease piracy (It is harder to record 3D films in the cinema because of how they are filmed).
- More and more films are being released in 3D ('Alice in Wonderland', 'Piranha 3D'), and older films are being re-developed and screened in 3D e.g. 'Toy Story', 'Titanic' (Coming in 2012).
- 00's becoming the 2nd 'Golden Age'.
Also a possibility. Might be more research in first idea.
