Digital photography technology has changed the editing of the film, the picture, and greatly broadened the expression of the film. I think this must be an improvement. Although it also has shortcomings, but as said in the film, the problem itself provides an opportunity to solve the problem. Let those who are stubborn in film embrace the feelings behind the times...
This film puts the contradiction between film and digital in front of me through interviews with many filmmakers, and I basically have a better understanding of these two technologies than before. In-depth understanding. In fact, I feel that this documentary has a subjective position in favor of numbers. It is more like talking about the advancement of technology, and the film only appears in this film as a supporting role. I don’t know if my feeling is right, maybe it’s because there are fewer and fewer filmmakers still sticking to film.
While watching the movie, I suddenly thought that since everything can be virtual and digital, will one day we don’t even need actors, as long as a few people or even only one director sits in front of the computer, we can make animations like the current animation production. In a movie, all the scenes and actors can be reconstructed by computer, which is no different from the real filming, and this effect is obviously better because the director can completely control the actors' movements, movements, and even the tiny facial expressions. , you can change the scene at will without the time-consuming and laborious construction of the set. And the cost is obviously countless times lower than the actual shooting... If you think about it this way... Is film still an art?
