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.
