From screen to monitor - [engineering broadcasting]

In this paper, cinematography and computer animation are discussed. The film industry is in the throes of a digital revolution which will change the way movies are shot and screened. Movies are generally shot on 35mm or 16mm stock. People also film on Super 8mm (a classic beginner´s choice) or 65mm for iMax films. The photographic film has thin layers of light-sensitive particles which, when struck by light, change their chemical properties. Different layers have different colour filters. With 35mm film, the standard for cinema-quality movies(HD videos), the depth of resolution is huge: around ten times that of digital video. However, by the time a print reaches the cinema, it has been copied repeatedly and, with the projector effect as well, some resolution will have been lost.
