Read the following two passages and choose the correct answer for each of the
questions.

To accomplish a three-dimensional or 3D effect in a movie, two steps are necessary. First,

the movie needs to be shot a special way. Then, the movie needs to be viewed in a special
way.

To shoot a 3D movie, it is necessary to use two cameras at the same time. This is different
from a regular movie, which is shot with only one camera. The two cameras are placed
next to each other. The placement of the cameras imitates how two eyes each see one
scene from a different perspective. The same picture is shot by each of the cameras at the
same time, but each of the cameras films the scene from a different angle because of the
position of the cameras.

When you go to the theater to view a 3D, you must wear special glasses to get the three-
dimensional effect. [45A] Both pieces of film are projected simultaneously; when the
pieces of film are projected at the same time, the special glasses then force each of your
two eyes to see the film in a different way. [45B] Your left eye sees the film shot with the
left camera, and your right eye sees the film shot with the right camera. [45C] If you try to
watch the movie without the special glasses, it will seem like you have double vision.
