CGI (computer generated imagery) has revolutionized the film industry making it possible to digitally generate realistic environments and characters without the need for tangible sets and props. Films such as Avatar (2009) and Jurassic Park (1993) are cemented as landmark achievements in CGI technology with modern films integrating its use more and more.
Streaming services such as Netflix and Disney+ offering a wide selection of films and TV which has become increasingly favorable in the past decade. As a result, movie theater attendance has seen a steady decline with audiences preferring the conveniency of at-home entertainment. To combat this issue, many theaters have made the effort to attract viewers back to the theaters with enhanced seating and higher quality pictures.
Moving forward, revolutionary technologies like AI are becoming integrated with the filmmaking process, making it possible for independent filmmakers to produce high-quality films with a limited budget. Cultural representation in films is also becoming increasingly relevant paving the way for a more mindful and aware future of filmmaking.
