Avatar

I think since James Cameron thought of the movie in advance, he did not face too many difficulties but, as many of us know that, making a movie is not simple, even if it is all planned out. One challenge that I believe would be one of the greater challenges was coming up with all the high technology used in the movie. I think Cameron did a very good job on making the technology seem like what it will be like in the future.

By creating the Vault, Cameron was able to create Pandora. Before he could start filming and laying out each scene of the movie, he had to imagine the world for the characters. To think about how the world of the avatars' is going to be would be an overwelming experience, considering Cameron had to make the world believable. Because of the 3D technology the movements were a lot more smoother and believable.

Performance capture is where an actor's movements and expressions are electronically tracked and translated into computer generated imagery (CGI) to bring a film character to life. Motion capture is the process of recording movement and translating that movement onto a digital model. With performance capture the actor gets a better feeling for what they have to act rather than in motion capture.

Cameron and the Avatar film producers spent $150 million on this movie. The creation of the new trechnology in this movie might have had it harder to gather enough money for News Corp. I do not think how much money spent on a film changes the outcome of the message the audience gets from thet movie. Even though Cameron spent $150 on Avatar it does not change the message of the movie. However, if a movie is a very low budget film and you can tell it is then it might affect the outcome of the audiences' reaction because they might not enjoy it as much because there was not or did not look like enough effort into the film.

I believe Avatar does show characteristics Americans have. For example, Americans say it is a free country we can do whatever we want and say whatever we want, but in reality we cannot. Americans cannot go around the world or even the US thinking they run the place because there would be no boundaries. I believe Cameron was trying to show how Americans have acted in the past and have tried to suck people into thinking they are doing what is best for everyone but really only thinking of what is best for them. However, I do think this is not original becasue there are films like this. For example, Pocahontas.
