The Evolution of Film-Making Technology

The transition from film to digital cinema drastically changed the way films were made and greatly affected the cinematography of films. Digital versus film has been a widely debated subject in the film industry since the availability of digital cameras at the end of the 20th century. Now in the 21st century, digital dominates the film industry, so why is 35mm film still being used by both amateur and professional filmmakers?

But now, film has developed to the point where the typical audience cannot see the difference between HD digital films and 35mm films. For example, HDTV laser-beam recording on 35mm colour film can now be used to enhance the quality of the image without using digital. So now to answer the question earlier on why 35mm film is still being used today is that it is a preference for some directors. Although the average viewer cannot spot the difference between digital and film, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t any differences between them.

Films are often due to technological advances, or even to reintroduce a classic story. Some examples of films that have been remade include Scarface (1932), remade in 1983, and The Magnificent Seven (1960), remade in 1998.

Cinema’s influence on pop culture has steadily increased since its introduction in the 1890’s. As special effects were introduced and the length of film increased, their popularity increased as well. Today, there is quite a bit of focus placed on the box office returns of films and popular culture is directly affected by this.

However, these big budget films are not the only films that have made an impact on popular culture. The influence made by cult films cannot be ignored when discussing the impact of film on society.
