Abstract

Digital media Animation (Cinematography) Digital cinematography Computer Animation
Dynamic Frame Rate (DFR) is the change in frame rate of a movie sequence in real time as the sequence is playing. The idea of using dynamic frame rates in digital cinema has not been explored in depth despite the researches and attempts in using high frame rates. As such, there are very limited information on how people perceive it and how DFR actually works. Additionally, we do not have a good knowledge of whether or not it would look good or bad. By understanding DFR and how viewers perceive the changes in frame rate, it will help us adapt new techniques in the creation of cinema. This thesis aims to understand the basics of DFR, how different implementations of DFR changes viewer perception and how people perceive a changing in frame rate of an animated movie sequence displayed in DFR.
