Long time ago, I thought I will write a blog on my passion for films and film making. My first intention was to express myself. Then I wondered who will read this. Then my whole idea of blog fizzled out. Yesterday I happen to read a blog on blogger and saw I have a blogger id named cinematik there. I smiled and realized now I have some knowledge in film making and can share with the aficionados of cinema and aspiring filmmakers.

So Here I am, Vivek Jyoti Gupta, a screenwriter ( Hello Zindagi- 2010 and Control Alt Delete - 2012) and Film director ( Control Alt Delete - short film -2012); will share some info on digital filmmaking here on this platform from now on.

Digital Film making - the way forward…

            If you are one of those aspiring persons who want to learn many things about film making. As such, this article will help you discover the world of your digital film interest.  But before that, you have to know first the meaning of digital film making and how it is different from the film based film making. So, to start with…

Digital Film making has opened up greater opportunities and possibilities for filmmakers and film aspiring people than ever before. So, if you are also interested in entering into the industry of filming, you must know as much as possible the things related in this area and how modern and latest technologies have changed the way film movies are produced and made.  Every movie, from massive blockbusters, up to the small films made by first time directors, has been changed by the introduction of digital film technology.

Digital film making refers to number of various techniques and processes used in making modern movies. In short, it simply means the use of amazing digital aspects and more flexible digital cameras such as film environments and movie characters within a computer. Using flexible cameras have greatly reduced and simplified the expenses of making movies.  As you know, film itself degrades over time, those celluloid that traditional films were printed upon are actually decomposed and turned into gelatinous materials over a long time. This, though, destroys the quality and print of a film and those of classic films have been lost due to improper protection and storage.

 

Also, film is extremely flammable. A small fire can quickly destroy millions of movies and properties. Additionally, traditional film is quite expensive, which requires hard work for most directors with major film studios that could afford the investment needed to make and produce movies and shoot different features on film. However, digital film making does not involve and require such costly film materials, that the overall investment in making a film is significantly smaller. All of these changes in making a film have helped making the process easier especially for filmmakers and those beginners who want to create their own movies. 

The difference of Digital Film making and Film based film making

 Technology has a great impact in making a film. In fact, using flexible digital cameras will allow filmmakers to shoot movie features in higher definition, letting all movie viewers to take in more of the intelligent and amazing works set in design. Also, the advent of digital film making made filmmakers and editor’s job easier and made it possible for them to produce quality movies at less expenses cost.  This means that breaking into film industry isn’t just less expensive, but getting your film work out there is much easier too.

In addition, shooting movies in digital is much easier than film based making. This is because aside from the fact that it gives special effects on the film, you can now do shooting in less time.
