What is new or different about digital cinema compared to traditional filmmaking?
Mission to Earth is a example of "data-base cinema" or "soft cinema" created by Lev Manovich. The "soft" here means software. It is totally different from traditional filmmaking. Except the voice over narrating the story, everything else is constructed by software in real time, including what would appears on the screen, where and in which sequence. The decisions are partly based on a system rules and partly random. Its means that every time you plays the movie, what is shown on the screen is different! The screen are broken down into several frames and the video which appear within these frames selected from a large database.
