For a while now I have contemplated what I would consider a practical subject to go forth with . With CGI i found i could do a number of things relating to film like 'How has CGI changed blockbuster film!?' or 'How has CGI changed and helped fantasy film'. Well looking at that last title I can't help but notice that Fantasy film, Sci fi films and other fictional non-realistic film NEED CGI to progress the narrative of the story, or even help it!.
An example would be from my focus film's, the 'Star Wars' Trilogy (1977 ones, not the recent films) ,'Lord of the Rings' Trilogy and more recent films such as the Harry Potter films, and Star Trek! The one sole thing that befuddled me was 'Do they actually need CGI to tell the story'
These films field a variety of the use of CGI and i want to find out how they have changed film, the way we watch films and what we gather from them.
I have always been interested in CGI ever since i saw 'Toy Story' as a child. I loved the way people could create a world of imagination from just sitting at there desks and hammering away at their mouse and keyboard to create art and imagery.
We all know the massive fan base that the lord of the rings holds as well as the star wars films, and i couldn't help but wonder if they have a comparison. If it were not for films like Star wars, would we have had the technology to create films like star trek or harry potter?
What I hope to Achieve in doing this is to gain a broader knowledge about CGI, know how some effects are made, how the effects help film and why they are so important!
A couple of books I have found should help me in finding more about the subject than I would watching video's 20/4/7 and hopefully I can find some of the extracts in the book helpful towards the project!
