Research document conclusions

Stereoscopic3D has a number of factors that must be addressed differently compared to 2D productions. This can lead to higher production costs and create unpleasant viewing experiences for audiences. However, when done correctly, the vast majority of society is embracing the new 3D revolution with open arms and are thoroughly excited as to where the technology is potentially heading. Production companies are aware of this. Therefore, the increased budget and potential limitations of 3D have become justifiable through the success stereoscopic3D has received such as box office revenue. That’s certainly not to say 2D production is going to be dead and buried anytime soon though. Even if 3D technology is improving rapidly, there is still a long way for it to go. Miller (2012) supports this stating not only does a film’s content have to be produced correctly but “Hollywood must also correct the technological aspects of 3D as well”.
