The era of 3D cinema will be marked by prolonged depth of field shots.

Years from now it will seem normal, unnoticeable even. But right now, as we're all adjusting to movies being 3D and even televisions like this Coby 46" 1080p 3D LED HDTV allowing people to enjoy 3D shows and movies at home, it's still kind of jarring.

See, there's a lot of time, money, and equipment that goes into making a 3D movie, and people pay a lot more to see a movie in 3D, so they want to make sure they're really getting a 3D experience. The end result? Weird, prolonged shots of far away vistas with a slightly closer vista so you can tell it's in three dimensions. Sudden "scare" shots of things hurling towards the screen. Awkward forced perspectives that, to be perfectly honest, add nothing when you're watching the regular ol' DVD at home.

So get your money's worth out of those 3D DVDs! Watch movies and television in full 1080p HD using the two pairs of Active Shutter 3D Glasses! At least you'll get to see all this awkward camerawork in 3D.
