Article Response:
The rate at which digital graphics and media are improving and becoming more realistic is super fast. Not even just realistic but it also allows us to create anything imaginable to allow the viewer to think its realistic, not having a tacky edited look. I like in the article when they are talking about how artists before in the past would like to display different pieces of art in rapid succession which would take a lot of work, but how now with software this is very easily done. But creators of these new softwares aren't only improving past techniques, but creating new innovative ways to edit. I think composition based is much better then time based because when you can focus on each piece individually it makes it much easier to add detail to every part of a composition instead of having to recreate it every frame. I also liked how he referred to After Effects as a petri dish where different forms of media were able to interact with eachother to form new things.

Does time based editing have any pros over composition editing?

Do you think that the feature films will grow to be more and more digitzed due to the fact that its becoming so realistic and every element is easily edited when built on the computer?

This article is already 7 years old, what other innovations have they made in the past 7 years?

What is special about augmented reality versus augmented space. I think the key difference which makes augmented reality special vs augmented space is that augmented reality is personalized for each individual, while augmented space is presented to the major audience. Take ads in the mall for example, these are put on display in hopes to please the majority of people passing by. Versus an augmented reality, which is then taking in what you like and creating a personal experience. Like if you are walking through a space listening to a recording this experience is completely your own and makes you a part of the artwork either by moving through it, evoking emotions. It is also more personable since many augmented spaces are used through personal devices like cell phones. When exploring an augmented reality on your phone its more of an experience because it brings it right to you. Augmented reality is also special because even right in the name, its focus is to create a different reality rather than the one the subject is used to. Any of the senses could be brought into this, sight, sounds, smells. the biggest thing is that augmented reality can be made to a more unique and personalized. Also from the examples in the article, it seems that augmented reality pays closer attention to detail, in the way that every part of the augmented reality is really prominent and hard to miss, like walking through listening to a recording, or having you're eyes glued to the cell phone screen. An augmented reality really pulls the viewer into a different world. In an augmented space, things could be over looked like when walking through a gallery or mall. What else can be augmented other than space? There already are other things out there that can be augmented, for example interactive stories. Where the user is presented with a story and gets to choose what happens next depending on preference, and it walks the user through a whole story that is created with aid by the user. This way the user is creating a story based on their likes, interests, and it evokes different emotions from the reader. Maybe even time can be augmented. I think this would be done by evoking different emotions from the viewer. For example maybe evoking the emotion of scared could make time feel like its passing by slower since if you are scared you might want to be out of it, making it seem slow. Or evoking a happy emotion that you enjoy so much you don't even realize that time is flying by. So yes, things other than space can be augmented.
