DIGITAL CINEMA TEST

1) the majority of films are filmed with an analog camera, then turned into digital format for the editing process and then turned back into analog to be distributed physically to the cinemas.
2) it can be distributed through a hard disk/ computer file which is much faster then physically sending the film to each cinema.
3) if the film is in digital format it could be released on the internet which allows blanket-release to the big companies and also the small independant companies who wouldn't be able to afford to release their film at all cinemas in analog format. It also allows the film to be released at the same time in every country as there is no need for it to be taken to that country as it can be sent through a computer.
4)1- if the film is exhibited on the internet, it is impossible for someone to go into a cinema and film the film. 2- if the film is released at the same time at all countries there is no need for people to try and find the film before it is released. 3- it could be made much harder to copy films if special formats are used, e.g enscription.
5)the cost is reduced enormously as analog films are very expensive and physically taking them to each separate cinema also is extremely expensive. Without these costs it is possible for all institutions with whatever budget to blanket-release their films, making the selection of films on offer much more varied. Also digital films don't require any trained peron to show them as it is not complicated, whereas analog films do, therefore this reduces the cost of training.
6)at the moment most cinemas do not have the digital equipement to show digital films, and getting this is extremely expensive. Also if the cinemas were to pay for this equipment they'd have to raise the prices of the film for a period of time to pay for it.
7)I think slowly digital cinemas will be introduced and the exhibition will be digital in cinemas. However, there is the possibility that people could boycot the cinema altogether if the films are distributed more and more online. However I think this would ruin the exhibition experience as people prefer watching the film on a bigger screen in public.
