How will Metaverse re-shape the future of Cinema, film-making and the way we watch films

Visual communication, over the past few years, has extraordinarily magnified. The internet is majorly involved in surging visual art on various digital platforms and turning the exposure of technology to explode.

A decade ago, films for cinemas were shot with large, expensive and clunky broadcast cameras. But nowadays, anyone can pick up a High Definition quality camera or maybe a mobile phone, film and edit it with free editing software or apps and distribute it in many ways possible.

But why are we talking about this?

The transformation of documentary films from clunky broadcast cameras to inexpensive High Definition cameras has emerged globally over the past few years. Similarly, the evolution of Metaverse will bring drastic changes in the digital technology world by taking it one step ahead. Let me further elaborate on how Metaverse will re-shape the future of cinema, filmmaking and the way we watch films.

What is the Metaverse?

One of the colossal companies in the world, Facebook, on October 28, 2021, announced their intention of making enormous investments in developing and creating its Metaverse. Also, the company renamed itself Meta, which is a predominant step in signaling their intent towards adapting the high-end technology.

Without experiencing the pros and cons of Metaverse, the company stepped into it by changing its name.

Now, let’s talk about what exactly it is, Metaverse? Metaverse is a virtual space in the 3D Digital world of high-end technology where people in the form of avatars can have access to virtual games, holy places, digital concerts and many more features, being in one place.

The Metaverse is currently in its infancy phase. The Metaverse will be doubtlessly accessible through VR and AR tools to its users. The big brands and companies who have started to make significant investments in the early stage of evolution will incur intensive profits in future.

By considering all of this, filmmaking will be incorporated into the 3D Virtual digital world where there is no need for the users to visit cinema halls for their entertainment. The screening can be held virtually anywhere by using VR glasses.

Metaverse — means for filmmaking

The question that arises regarding filmmaking several times is how the films will be produced in Metaverse? In this case, there are two different perspectives to look at. The first one is that the scenes shot in the real world can be projected in the virtual world of digital assets, and the second one is that the shooting for films will take place in the virtual world through customizable digital avatars. Therefore, the Metaverse holds the potential to cut down the cost of producing a film.

The cost saved during the film’s production will be allocated in hiring of programmers and experts of Metaverse. However, the good part is that we will exclude the hectic schedule for directors and actors working for the film.

Film and Television viewing experience

Metaspace will entirely modify the user’s viewing experience for Film and Television. The viewers no longer have to visit Cinema halls and theaters for their entertainment physically. The customizable virtual avatars in Metaverse will make them experience a real-time virtual world of cinema. The interaction in the Metaverse will be held through VR glasses. However, Television may be replaced with VR glasses.

Some of the movies and TV series you need to watch to understand the concept of Metaverse better and how it works are Free Guy, Ready player one and Black mirror episode striking wipers.

The rise of Coronavirus pumped up the evolution of the natural world into the digital world. Hence, the digital world is what lies ahead of us.

Conclusion

We all are aware that Metaverse is still in its infancy. Still, no one can deny that emerging trends of technology will convert all forms of entertainment into a digital online 3D virtual world.

During the filmmakers’ transformation journey, they might feel a little challenged to adapt the new techniques essential to work in the Metaverse Film and Entertainment industry. The process might take a few decades, but there are possibilities that it could happen a lot faster.

The virtual entertainment industry in Metaverse might open doors to several other opportunities, but at the same time, it can also be challenging. To overcome those challenges, you need to remember two things —
It would be best if you stayed updated with the latest technology trends
Continue to expand your imagination and try to put it in words, if that works for you

The successful transformation of Film and Entertainment into the Metaverse is necessary. Hence, the preference is always given to the artist’s artistic point of view. The physically photographed stories may destroy over time, but the artist’s imagination and thought process should keep evolving.
