That’s a problem. What about a more recent film – Dune: Part Two ? The 3D conversion was done post-production, but critics said the immersion was excellent.
I love that idea. But we have to check the availability of clips. The university library has Gravity on Blu-ray 3D, but the equipment to play it is only in room 4B, and it’s booked all next week.
Actually, I read that the director intended it for IMAX 2D, and the 3D version was added later by the distributor. Professor Hendricks specifically said to avoid films where 3D was an afterthought. So that’s out. 3d film choice ielts listening answers

You will hear two media studies students, Emma and Ben, discussing which 3D film to analyse for their group presentation. Listen carefully and answer questions 21–30. Emma: Right, Ben, we need to settle on a film by tomorrow. Professor Hendricks said our analysis has to focus on the use of stereoscopic 3D, not just the storyline.
Perfect. I’ll book the media lab for Thursday afternoon. And we should include in the introduction a comparison with a native 3D film like Life of Pi – just to show we’ve done our research.

That sounds technical, but maybe that’s a strength for our analysis. Okay, let’s do it. So our final choice is Gravity , not Avatar or Hugo .
