Analog VS Digital

In class we have been debating on weather analog or digital is better. Analog has been around for many years and was used in some of the most famous films of all time , such Merry Poppins and Buggsy Malone. Although analog is see as the more traditional and professional equipment to use , a new generation of equipment is ready to send the analog into retirement , and that is digital. Digital is the answer to the younger generations call for cheaper and easier equipment which will allow them to make there own independent films. Some people argue that this takes away he uniqueness of the film making and that it will allow any one to go out and make a film. On the other and filming has always been encouraged and is equipment is cheap and easy to use then it can only be a good thing. People also argue that digital equipment takes away the authenticity of films and makes them look to unrealistic. What people are referring to is the amount of special effects used in digital films. Films such as star wars and King Kong have been criticised for deceiving its audience with its special effects. Then again , both King Kong and Star Wars were box office hits and both took in millions of pounds. Going back to the first point I made , directors who have been making films for years seem to disagree with the use of digital filming and feel that there job is no longer special. While others say that making equipment cheap and easy to use , which digital does , you allow hidden talents to shine. Internet sites such as YouTube and Blogger itself allow people to post videos to share with the world.

Media Production 2 - Evaluation

In our Thursday lesson we were given the task of going out and filming ten shots , showing someone being followed. The learning objective for this task was to familiarize ourselves with the cut away shot and include it in our short movie were ever possible. We were only given 10 minutes planning time for this project, which created many problems. We did not have time to finish off our story board , find a location suitable for the film, and to create our shoot schedule. This time we had 4 people in our production team which again didn't make it any easier but each person was given a specific role, so no one had to double up at any point. So once we had the camera set up we went on location to film , which was the corridor. We only had a few shots to shoot here so we didn't want to spend too much time filming there. We would have been finished earlier if we didn't have to stop every 2 minutes to let people walk past. Again this was down to the lack preparation and the amount of time we was given to find an appropriate location. We then moved to the stairs were there was a continuous amount of noise playing in the background. We didn't think this was much of a problem because we could add a soundtrack to it. But to counter that idea the soundtrack could also stop the film looking as if it runs smoothly. Once we had finished filming we looked back at what we had done and were happy with the amount of cut-away shots we included. The shots went well with the other shots and we believe made the film more interesting.
