Cinematography is the making of a film including the lighting, sound and camera choices.
Before digital technology and how it's been revolutionised...
Beginning in the late 1980s, Sony began marketing the concept of "electronic cinematography," using its analog HDTV cameras. With the introduction of HDCAM recorders, the idea, now re-branded as "digital cinematography," finally began to gain traction in the market. In May 2002 'Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones' became the first, high-budget movie released that was shot on 24 frame-per-second high-definition digital video. Digital cinematography captures motion pictures digitally, in a process similar to digital photography.
Types of digital technology available today...
Digital technology has given electronic media a new level. Television, computer, audio/video devices, mobiles, iPods and much more, the effect of the digital media can be seen everywhere. Our books, newspapers and magazines also become digital and all this is because of the latest features and facilities that the digital technology provides to us.
How it has impacted on audiences...
New technology affects how audiences consumes different media as now, many digital technologies converge together. There is no need for so many different devices when something like the ipod, has many applications such as the internet, a phone, alarm clock, even an app to unlock your car!!
Editing/Special effects.
Editing is the process of selecting and preparing language, images, sound, video. A person who edits is called an editor.
Special effects is a visual effect added to a movie or a taped television show during processing.
Before digital technology and how it has been revolutionised...
Edwin S. Porter is generally thought to be the American filmmaker who first put film editing to use. Early films by Thomas Edison (whose company invented a motion camera and projector) and others were short films that were one long, static, locked-down shot. Motion in the shot was all that was necessary to amuse an audience, so the first films simply showed activity such as traffic moving on a city street. There was no story and no editing.
In 1856, Oscar Rejlander created the world's first "trick photograph" by combining different regions of 32 other photographs into a single image. This was not only the first use of trickery in the cinema, it was the first type of photographic trickery only possible in a motion picture.
How it has been revolutionised...
With digital editing, film editors and their assistantes have been responsible for other areas of filmaking. For instance, picture editors only dealt with picture but more recently sound, music and visual effects editors deal with the practicalities of other aspects like editor and director.
Since the 1990s, computer generated imagery (CGI) has come to the forefront of special effects technologies. CGI gives film-makers greater control, and allows many effects to be accomplished more safely and convincingly.
How has it impacted on audiences...
It affects the audience because it changes how they see the film. Such as, when the first type of motion in a film amazed audiences and as years go on, digital technology continues to amaze with different types of editing. From before digital technology to now, you can see the process of how far editing has come.
