Technology has been rapidly evolving and this has meant significant changes to the film production process at any level. This has made a significant effect and impact on the film industry and the audience that is consuming the media which is being produced.
Main points of discussion:
How film is losing out to digital cameras.
The different resolutions of the SD cards, how it's developed in comparison to film.
Distribution to theatres can be online, whereas with film it has to be shipped to the theatres- it's a lot more hassle to distribute.
Film fades over time so you can't watch it any more.
A lot easier with web 2.0 to market the film, raise a fan base.
A bad thing about web 2.0 though is in piracy. You couldn't do that with film, you had to watch it authentically.
There is a type of 'war' between digital and film. Some directors find it unauthentic. Won't use digital. Others such as George Lucas support the rise in digital and say film is 'dying'
Indie film makers can succeed more because they can get a camera, film was wayyy to expensive for them to do.
Argument over whether film is art and digital is taking away the 'magic'
