Cell phone users now have the opportunity to learn how to create their own personal 6)documentaries with their phones, allowing for new kinds of content creation that will contribute to the 7)evolution of documentary filmmaking.

It’s more than 2,000 years since 8)Aristotle discovered the phenomenon of the 9)persistence of vision. The very first moving pictures appeared just over 100 years ago and, since then, the technology of moving pictures has been 10)accelerating on an 11)exponential scale. The cameras of a hundred years ago were as big as a refrigerator, cost a fortune and the pictures were 12)grainy, 13)flickery, black and white with no sound.

But now people can carry a camera that’s 1,000 times better than that in the palm. Because it’s built into the cell phone, it adds no extra weight. What’smore, it’s with people all day, every day.

There is no limit to what you can do with a mobile phone camera.

移动通讯正从声音逐渐转向多媒体形式，包括短信、互联网连接、视频与影片等。这些变化正在重新定义人们的生活方式，也为电影制作开拓了新的领域。

手机电影制作是一种新媒介，它不仅具有创造性，还是一种被认为颇有潜力的电影类型。现在，手机用户有机会学习如何利用手机来拍摄他们自己的个人纪录片，进行新型内容创作，这种创作将有助于纪录片制作的革新。

亚里士多德发现视觉暂留现象至今已有2000多年了。最早的电影出现在距今仅一百多年前。从那时开始，电影技术就呈指数级迅猛发展。一百年前的摄像机像冰箱那么大，价格也贵得惊人―而图像中还会有很多颗粒，摇晃不定，只有黑白画面，并且没有声音。

而现在，人们却可以把质量比那好上千倍的摄像机拿在掌中。因为它被内置在手机里，便不会增加任何额外重量。而且，每天用户都可以随时把它带在身边。无论灵感何时涌现，只需拿着它，瞄准目标就可拍摄。然后他们便可以随时将录下来的内容发给朋友或者在网上与别人分享。

你可以随心所欲地运用手机摄像机的功能。手机电影制作能让你与别人分享美好时光―例如，如果你的姑姑无法出现在生日宴会上，她还是可以身临其境地看到蜡烛被吹灭的情景。如果你偶然遇到具有新闻价值的事件，还可以立即把它录制下来，甚至可以将录像内容卖出去小赚一笔！

手机电影还有更多功能。非常多。拥有手机摄像机的人或许会成为下一位斯皮尔伯格！它是学习电影制作的好工具。由于具有即时剪辑与回放等功能，它可以帮助人们提升自己的电影制作技能。

尽管好莱坞著名的电影公司为大屏幕制作大片，也囊括了各大奖项；然而，随着近年来众多为手机电影而新设的大奖不断涌现，“第三屏幕”的电影制作人也在迅速崛起。

对于这种新型电影，探索亚洲电视网（Discovery Networks Asia）的一位行政高层评论道：“任何对手机运作有基本认识的人都能创作自己的手机电影，并能捕捉到他们身边的世界。”
