Week #1A Definitions

Digital Filmmaking has had a rush of excitement aswell as negative remmarks in the last 10 years or so.  Steve Mcqueen states “all this technology, it’s changing every five minuets”. He says “because everyone is making money out of it” and this is not an overstatement. Comparing digital cinema now to 2010 we can see a massive change in how special effects and filimg can be improved in such a short period of time. For some people in the industry moving on from carrying heavy film cans and the use of diffrent size film and other aspects of using film means the end of true movie making. Although we have moved in the direction  of digital film, in 2014 six out of nine Oscar nominees were shot entirely on film. Using film compared to digital methods can still be more rewarding especially when the hard work is put in. But digital filimg takes less time, less equipment, and has brought the standard of movies to a new level.

  1. Logan,
    I like that you pointed out that ditching the use of film does take away some of the old fashioned aspects of filmmaking that people love. However, I think it could be said that digital filmmaking is just a newer art form that will probably one day be seen as just as outdated as films are.
    I personally don’t have some great love for movies so it doesn’t affect me any that they don’t have the same rustic feel as the old timey movies done on film. I have seen complaints from others though that do enjoy the authenticity of the imperfections in the movie caused by using film – like the pops in the image.

  2. I totally agree that digital filmmaking is both good and bad. Look back at the our recent movies. For example, Fast and Furious 6 where Paul Walker was playing a main character but unfortunately he died in the accident where digital filmmaking came into play.
