All-dimension surround sound in the 3D film era

[摘要] 3D movies provided an improved immersion in terms of visual perception. But for theassociate movie soundtracks, most of the 3D movies were still produced in theconventional format, such as 5.1 or 7.1 surround format. These conventional surroundformats were all insufficient in height information of auditory, inaccuracy of spatiallocalization as well as lack of immediacy. Many sound professionals and auditorytechnology companies focused on realizing the audio-visual congruence of 3D movie.In this paper, I would introduce a new auditory concept: ADSS (All DimensionalSurround Sound). By reviewing the history of film sound, I would explore the formingprocess, theoretical basis, current application and the value of this three-dimensionalsurround format. With this research, I wanted to raise more filmmakers and filmtheorists' awareness of the technological development of film sound and utilize it tomake more and more blockbusters for the audience.
