Abstract:

The development of films has always been related closely to the progress of technology. While the film is the combination of art and technology, the progress of technology inevitably gives a large influence on the artistic film. Every big leap in the film history accompanies with the progress of technology. In recent years, with the rapid development of technology, the influence of technology on films is more evident, thus giving some impact on the traditional film aesthetics. Digital imaging techniques make the connotation of the film assumption changing greatly, being a further breakthrough in the restriction of the material reality subjected to by films. The year of 2009 is considered as the "first year of 3D", but, as far as the current 3D film is concerned, either image or performance or narrative levels appear a step backwards on the esthetics. On the one hand, the digital image makes the film become a language; and on the other hand, hightech produces a large influence, not only on the big screen but also on the small screen. But, due to the birth of the film of mobile phones, the film form is expanded.

Key words: hightech; film aesthetics; assumption; virtual reality; 3Dfilm
