In this lesson we explored the importance of digital technology to film production.
Films are made up of images printed on to acetate negatives, these are then spliced together to form a reel of film which are then fled through a projector at a constant speed of 24 frames a second which makes the picture appear to be moving.
Digital cinema uses bits and bytes to record, transmit and replay image instead of chemicals on film, the whole process is electronic so there is no printing or splicing involved
Over the past recent years digital cinema has grown rapidly, star wars episode 11 the attack of the clones was the first big budget live action film shot entirely on digital video however transferred to 35mm film to be exhibited in cinemas.
Most film makers were far from convinced that digital was the future of cinema, although some critics still believe digital is not yet up to the standard of film
