Week 3 - Film in the On Line Age

In looking at the impact of Web 2.0 & digital technology on  film production and distribution  you could research:

• The development of CGI  ( e.g "Avatar")
• Digital vs celluloid  cameras
• Digital post-production - editing and FX
• Digital   vs celluloid projection
• Use of Web 2.0 for promotion ( websites, social networking, audience feedback)
• Collaborative production via Web
• Access  to audience via web for new film makers
• Threats to traditional distribution patterns ( cinema, VHS, DVD sale/rental)
