4D:
4D in movie world doesn’t mean 4 Dimensional spaces by the definition of physics but it’s just marketing term for entertainment presentation system combining a 3D film with physical effects that occur in the theatre just to attract people as shown in Figure 73.

4D is a technique for presenting not shooting:
4D is traded as a technique for presenting not shooting; it’s a technique for
presenting in custom-built theaters at special venues such as Amusement parks and Theme parks as shown in Figure 74 but some movie theaters have the ability to present 4D versions of wide release 3D films such as "Avatar" and “Journey to the center of the earth“.
Converting 3D into 4D:
We can separate the effects that are made to convert 3D into 4D to 3 things: • First: 4D films include rain, wind, stunning lights and vibration. • Second: 4D venues may be vibrate or move few inches during the
presentations.
• Third: Hall effects may include smoke, rain, lighting, air bubbles and special smells.
Marketing 4D films:
Some times 4D films have been considered as 5D, 6D or 7D in order to show the unique effects in their theatre effects it is only marketing labels.
5D
The 5D screens have some important components of the theatre which are the accurate conjunction with the motion of objects and stereo systems to create the mood which is suitable to the scene to make a simulation of the world in the film to the world of the watcher.
As an example of the physical conditions they make lightning for a rainy day, water sprinklers, snow flakers for snow periods as shown in Figure 75,and other features like seat effects like flowing water, chair movements, vibrations and rotations and that is through automatic chair controllers, hydraulic and electric and color scheme to be suitable for the film environment and there is more innovative systems involving the sense of smell by incorporating fragrances to make it a completely sensory impression.
7D
7D definition and popularity
7D is known as the mobile cinema which is considered as the new technology that will give the viewer the feeling of the adventure during one sitting, this technique requires screening of most of the films that are recently produced while the
introducing of the physical effects that in touch with the movie like the blowing of wind and air, falling of rain and snow, generally changing in the weather
conditions also seating effects like raking, feet sweeping, wetness, and rapid
vibrations. make the audience feel that they are included in the film in a tricky way as shown in Figure 76, that will help to increase the viewer’s entertainment for example if they in the winter and there is a summer film that will be cool for them, that also what made this kind to have a great popularity in a short time.
7D theatre features
It’s like the feeling of watching a film in 7D but this time in theatre, that theatre is quite few but became loved for most people of all ages. It’s based on a system of a chair that is hydraulically made with 6 chairs related together, it’s mainly focused on special effects like air conditioning, lightning conditions, raindrops, falling snow as shown in Figure 77, and those effects which make the viewer feel the film is real.

Difference between 4D and 7D
The 4D films usually can be watched on a 3D screen and vice versa, depending on the stage equipment available at the client disposal. on the other hand for the shows of 7D movies includes many equipment and it is more interested to the watchers, these ways include High-end 3D video servers that enable both HD and SD formats to run in perfect sync, personal speakers and comprehensive package among others.
Future vision
As technology makes our life easier, technology made a leap in the box office and its future.
The first computerized box office arrived in the early of the 1980s. That shows the effect of technology on making movies which affect the box office in the all world like: Avatar and The Hobbit.
The Hobbit box office:
Figure 78 represent box office ratings that show the effect of technology on the film.
Conclusion:
This investigation has led to the following conclusions:
1. Every moment technology keeps developing to reach another level to take you to another world full of imagination, fun and useful (4). 2. The successful producer and director needs to be talented and
hard-working to make sense of the tools he has and how to use them wisely (22).
3. There is a difference between the Viewer system techniques and the camera system techniques and each have several methods (12). 4. Digital 3D is a good improvement of Old 3D (21).
5. The ability of directors like James Cameron to make change in
filmmaking that's by developing the fusion camera system which made him a scientist, director and camera man (26).
6. The strong vision of the director can open many doors of creativity to be achieved in real world (37).
7. There is difference between scenes shot in 2D and those shot in 3D (46). 8. The bright future of filmmaking will open a new track to creativity (52).
