The constant innovation of production and post-production tools is changing the way Filmmakers approach their craft, giving them more control over the look of their pictures, as well as lowering production costs.
Furthermore technologies such as the IMAX Laser Projector, Interactive Movie Screens and Second Screen Experience Applications, are improving the overall perception of the audience by providing Insanely Realistic Experiences.
Basically laser projection systems promise to fix the unwanted quality and look of 3D movies, pushing the Cinematic Experience to a whole new level.
Although some people choose to skip going to the movies and prefer watching them on a smartphone or a tablet, wherever they want, Cinemas remain a popular option. The Cinema Experience is keeping up with technology and moving towards virtual reality. In the near future filmgoers will have access to 8K resolution goggles and a genuinely immersive experience.
Unquestionably technology advances have shaken almost every aspect of Filmmaking including the Distribution Process. New services such as Video-On-Demand, YouTube, and Netflix, have become an amazingly popular distribution medium, indirectly affecting piracy.
