CAMERA

Camera quality has increased over the last twenty years. Camera’s have changed from

analogue to digital. It has changed to HD, whereas films are now in 1080p. The shutter

speed has increased therefore you can get more frames per second which produces a

more crisp and smooth image.

The features of the camera has changed so you can zoom better, and also add effects

directly from the camera such as negative.

Different camera lenses have been developed which enables cameras to film in

different ways such as increased zoom or wide angle lense. Due to the change in lenses

you can now adjust the aperture level of the camera which enables more or less light to

be received.

Video aspect ratios have changed from 4:3 to a more modern widescreen 16:9 which

produces a larger image.

VISUAL EFFECTS

The first Tron film introduced CGI. They have

been greatly improved in film such as Avatar.

This is due to the improvement of computer

technology. You can now access visual effects

through software such as After Effects, which

is also used by professional film producers.

3D

Stereoscopy is a film technique for creating the

illusion of the image coming out of the screen. It is

most commonly known as 3D.

3D was introduced and marketed but was a big

failure, it was then re-introduced.

The film Avatar is an example of stereoscopy.
