1/5

Side by Side

Directed by Keanu Reeves

Celluloid/Photochemical/Film

Texture, grain structure,

chemical reaction.

1000ft loads of lm = 10

minutes shooting

Dailys - lm developed and

watched next day

leap of faith romantic

voodoo

Its iin the DPs Head.

Chris Nolan -Dark Night,

Inception

Scorsese - concentrate on

the performances

David Lynch In lm theres a

tension about this precious

stuff going through the

camera.

Digital/Video

shoot for longer -almost

innite.

See what you are shooting.

Modern digital can work better

in low light. - changes the way

you light shots.

CCD - Sony

DOGMA 95 lms shot on

Video The celebration, TheIdiots Handheld

Low budget = more freedom?

Video associated with:

PORN, NEWS,

DOCUMENTARY

Immediacy as if you are in the

room.

Digital Film becomes

aproduction aesthetic


2/5


John Malkovich

momentum problem

can we go?

FILM = MONEY running

through the camera.

Gives the shooting a tension

PHYSICAL EDITING

CGI

degrades lm as ahas to be

scanned and manipulated

then put back into lm

Digital/Video

digital no need to stop/start =

actors exhausted and need to

pee!

Danny Boyle -28 days lateron consumer dig cams = more

real and could hold trafc in

London for quick shoot rather

than close whole streets for

days. Can shoot illegallyand surrepticiously.

NON LINEAR DIGITAL

EDITING.

Robert Rodriguez: Editing =

the manipulation of images to

tell a story

Speed

CGI

all just information so easier

to manipulate

no degradation no limits

George Licas - Pixar ILM

worked with sony on digital

camera Sony F900


3/5


Mid to late 90s shot on lm

then digitised

Film = Art + Labour

In lm colouring you have to

use chemical proceses and

dipping in tanks to adjust

colouring of lm.

Photochemical process

timing is crude and results

decided by colourist not

director.

Digital/Video

Pixel res

SD 720 x 480

HD 1920

ATTACK OF THE CLONES

2002 1st major feature chot

on HD video

O brother where art though?

(Cohen Brothers afliated with

Working Title Films)

Whole lm is digitally coloured

so gives rich sepia tones but

does not affect blue sky and

blue overalls.

Being able to digitally

manipulate could mean LESS

control for directors as anyone

canchange the look of youer

lm.

Colourist and DP decide the look of the lm


4/5


Each projector/projectionist is

different

Cellulloid falls apart

transport expensive

The cinema was the curch of

the 20th century.a special place with the actors

face 40ft high.

A public shared experience

vs a private experience of

watching movies on a phone

or table via netix.

Digital/Video

Digital projectors can still

have settings adjusted..

Sony have installed 10,000

digital projectors in last 2 yrs

no scratches/ tears.

James Cameron -the eye ofthe artist is still required to

make it look real
