cinema and ariel photography.

How to imitate the peripheral vision of the human eye? Obviously our vision is not only just a square we see, we see much more than that? Now wouldn't it be nice to have a movie that shows more than it is supposedly appear on a small screen?

This is problem is answered by the use of three cameras completely in sync. This fairly primitive contraption is considered a technological breakthrough. Like most technology that are considered new, it required a lot of tedious work. If one the of the cameras is out of sync, the film had to be had edited, which very inefficient and risky. The three cameras would take the three different footages of the same "scene". The footages would later be compiled together and set to form a full screen. The film would then be shown on three projectors. Each projector would project part of the screen in which the right projector will display the right image of the scene, the middle the middle image of the scene, and the left would project the right side. The screen is also curved to imitate the shape of the eyeball.

Aerial photography has also been a big part of cinema. During the war, the photography taken has been primarily taken as a way to scout enemy lines. However, after the war, the maps have began to be used as a sublime instead of military weapons. Besides taking film of the land, the film has begun to shift upwards. The show has begun to star the pilots. In fact, much aerial cinema has began to become very popular. The aces who used to fly military missions for their commanders, became stunt pilots for hollywood directors. The cinema of the pilots became a way for countries to demonstrate their prowess and entertainment became much more than entertainment.
