BLUE BELL, PA--Digital and film photography have been through a lot of debate over the years. Media in the twenty-first century has been dominated by digital film, getting good results from digital cameras. Although, there are still users who prefer old-fashioned film and photo methods. Christopher Nolan shooting his Dark Knight Rises movie is a good example. Movie studios today are forcing Hollywood to abandon thirty-five-millimeter film, though some people are choosing digital supposedly because it is easier to work with.
When asked, students at Mont co responded to whether or not they prefer digital or thirty-five millimeter film. Two-thirds of them said they preferred digital, saying that it’s “cheaper”, “widely used and accepted”, has “more detail” and “better production quality.” Some of the best-known digital movies they gave examples of were Avatar, Iron Man, Transformers and Pirates of the Caribbean.
The other students preferred film “for the aesthetic” and because it’s “old school”, with some good examples like Jaws and The Lord of the Rings. But digital media is apparently the most popular in media today, because it’s easier to edit and has sharper picture than film. So someday, based on the surveys and current media changes, there may be no actual film left. But there have been some really iconic movies made with it over the years, so even then people will probably still remember what film is.
