The Inspiration for the Digital Compositing Development Based on the Cognition

The digital compositing is widely used in the new media and interactive media such as TV, games, films and etc. In the movies, with the rapid development of the computer graphics’ application, the digital compositing has been long known as one of the most central parts in film production. Today’s digital compositing, which goes beyond the concept of the dazzling special effects on the screen, refers to the image processing that is aimed at achieving lifelike effects. The digital compositing, an extremely complex process, will produce hierarchical relationships among the images, in which confuses lots of new learners in this field. However, there exist a lot of similarities between this complicated process and the design divergent thinking that we have developed in the cognitive science-based, and these similarities will be greatly helpful in further exploring the mysteries of digital compositing in the film.
