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 appearance of the film.

There are lots of differences.

First,the composition is different.In the past, we can only see a scence each time.From the movies,we can see more than a scene at the same time.

Second,the way of story telling is different,as mentioned above,viewers can see many scences at one time,they may focus on the things which attract them .The feelings of each of them can be different.

Third the sequences are not in order unlike the old ones,that can affect the story-telling , too.

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

The geometric forms and the composition in the movies reminds me of the artworks of Piet Cornelies Mondrian.
Examples are as follows:
