Movies can make us believe in far-off and imaginary worlds. The science fiction genre, for example, can inspire us to dream about a different future. By exploring the concept of illusion and reality, we can learn how to make movies more visually stimulating. Let’s explore some of the most famous sci-fi movies. We may even be able to discover something new! But will our imaginations be satisfied with the movies we see?
Cinematic reality
Films, television shows, and VR experiences can be seen as collective entertainment. People can experience movies as a group or alone, with friends and family. There is no common expectation of the movie experience; individuals can watch a movie on their own, or engage in other activities while watching a movie. Cinematic reality at home offers the spectator an individual experience of a movie, without the collective. Cinema is a growing field of research, and its potential uses are limitless.
Cinematic reality describes the world of cinema as grounded in reality, but exaggerates its details for dramatic effect. Filmmakers push the boundaries of reality to make their films exciting. But reality can be dull. In movies, audiences can travel to imaginative lands and witness exciting events in mundane settings. The two styles are wildly different, and each one has its own merits. There are pros and cons to each. Here are some of the main differences between cinematic reality and movies:
Exaggeration in movies
Animation experts have long used exaggeration in their films to create a more realistic feel and emphasize an idea. Exaggeration is used in animation to give a character more life and make their actions seem more convincing. Experts recommend balancing a variety of aspects in a scene. Animation artists also leave unique features untouched to convey a more realistic impression. For example, they might exaggerate the character’s facial features or the way they move.
While some people might feel that an event they see in a movie is more realistic, many people still think that it isn’t. They might act on preconceptions in a life or death situation, and they may even cry foul when it turns out a different way than they thought it would. For instance, some people may feel cheated because a character died in a movie with a fake Scottish accent.
Exploring the concept of illusion vs. reality
For decades, cinematic artists have been exploring the idea of illusion versus reality. From George Melies’ 1902 masterpiece A Trip to the Moon to films like Mary Poppins and The Matrix, this idea has remained an important storytelling framework. In addition, the movies in question all attempt to convey the idea of reality versus fantasy. In the case of illusion, it can be difficult to discern the difference between the two.
Deleuze argues that film cannot replicate physical reality because the image on the screen cannot contain the complex matter before the camera lens. While Bergson argues against such a simple reading, Deleuze writes that film has various mechanisms that ameliorate this illusion. However, the theory is largely based on the notion that cinematic images are the result of a complex process that cannot be reproduced through mere representation.
