Post #10 Technical Perspective

An example of an image with low production value comes from a 1966 film Batman the Movie. The image depicts Batman and his sidekick Robin running down a street in New York City. There are a number of clues that show the low production quality compared to what we are used to seeing. The background is probably the biggest indicator of the production quality. The background is of the City of New York and is quite blurry. In fact the background appears to just be a picture of the street that was made into a poster and then put behind Batman and Robin. The background is painfully obvious to be a fake and the whole running seen was probably done on a green screen in some studio. Another sign of low production value are Batman and Robin’s costumes. The costumes appear to be made of spandex or some sort of very cheep material. Robin’s mask also seems to be poking him in the eyes and sliding off his face. Batman’s utility belt appears to be just a plastic belt with some blocky yellow things, which look like bags, glued to it. The whole image appears to be fake, which is understandable since the movie was made over forty years ago. Today with tools such as Photoshop average people can easily make a more believable image that what a studio could have done back in the 1960’s. But that’s advances in technology for you.
