This book argues that 3D films are becoming more sophisticated in
utilising stereoscopic effects for storytelling purposes. Since
Avatar (2009), we have seen a 3D revival marked by its integration
with new digital technologies. With this book, the author goes
beyond exploring 3D's spectacular graphics and considers how 3D can
be used to enhance visual storytelling. The chapters include visual
comparisons between 2D and 3D to highlight their respective
narrative features; an examination of the narrative tropes and
techniques used by contemporary 3D filmmakers; and a discussion of
the narrative implications brought by the coexistence of flatness
and depth in 3D visuality. In demonstrating 3D cinematic aesthetics
and storytelling, Yong Liu analyses popular films such as Hugo
(2011), Life of Pi (2012), Gravity (2013), Star Trek Into Darkness
(2013, and The Great Gatsby (2013). The book is an investigation
into contemporary forms of stereoscopic storytelling derived from a
unique, long-existing mode of cinematic illusions.
