Abstract

When you make a 3D film (stereoscopic film), you change completely the visual experience,
and tell a story through radically different visual medium.
The whole idea of stereoscopic cinema centered on illusion of depth to create more realism,
that realism helps viewers to immersion in movie world .
Camera settings are one of the cornerstones of stereoscopic cinema aesthetics because it
changes spatiality of the film which directly affects the illusion of depth, and thus sense of
realism, for example the camera angle changes the spatiality of the film, the camera
movement reveals the visual information in the scene and gives more attraction and depth and
reflect the spirit of the place.
But there are Questions are always raised, such as , the viewer experience during watching
stereoscopic cinema , the camera contributes to the viewer's depth perception on the one hand,
but it offers a tremendous amount of visual information that make him under control of the
attraction and seduction of film. That is lead to the question, does this cause loss of emotion
and communication with the film world? or create more sense of immersion and presence in
the world of film?
The research discusses the role that camera plays in creating illusion of depth in stereoscopic
cinema , concerned with depth in the first place ,in addition to Technical and aesthetic
challenges facing the film makers during the employment of these settings and the impact on
the viewer immersion .
