Mission to Earth

1) Using "Mission to Earth" as an example, note what is new or different about digital cinema compared to traditional filmmaking? Consider the story and apperence of the film.

The story of "Mission to Earth" is interesting. The director give all attension to the vision and recording method. It's different that traditional cinema is mainly focused on the actor and dialogues. "Mission to Earth" is using the script to lend the images flow. What am i talking is director recorded independent scenes to match the sentence of script. So, the director added voice-over in the video and edited the tape. Traditional cinema is opposite to the function between scripe,vision,dialogues and images.

For the apperence of the film, digital cinema can show two frames in one scene. In "Mission to Earth", one frame showed a woman sitting in a train and at the same time, there was a small frame showed  the outside view of the train. Also, there is graphics on the video. The graphics are transformed into "pixel" that can show on video and traditional cinema cannot show the graphics.

2) What other art forms (eg film, digital art, painting, websites etc) does this film remind you of? Explain the similarity.

"Mission to Earth" reminds me of experimental film which is using differents form, various abstracting techniques, non-diegetic sound to describe the work.
