21st century film-
Piracy- criminals make money, inspires people to have new ideas as they see more films
Digital distribution- alternative films
Resurgence of 3D- cannot be pirated, new experience, money for film studios
Context- what factors caused/impacts
Social- audience attendance
Technology- 3d, digital distribution, Internet
Group task- megaupload, pirate
"Megaupload" acts as a digital locker, allows file sharing
Megaupload resulted in rubbish blockbuster films and allows spoilers
3d resurgence & film production-
Loads of money spent, grossing budget
3d remakes if preexisting movies
Adverts- quick don't see anything because the films are rubbish
3d made in late 1930s
Illusion of a good new experience
Digital distribution-
New scheme takes over big film reels 12 million pounds put into it, cinemas wouldn't pay themselves
Digital screening- cuts costs of film release, a tenth of what it would cost on a reel
Beneficial for film studios
More open to piracy
Uk film council and arts council created the digital screen network
Cinemas began screening independent films- greater risk eg. Casablanca
Films that are in now eg. Captain America, Tarzan (only in 3d) Khumba
Independent films- the quiet ones, gods not dead
"3d is a gimmick it lends itself to certain tacky genres & forces the director to make cinematography decisions to make it work rather than to create meaning"
3d was bought back everytime cinema attendance decreased, suggesting it is not for the experience but to get more people in the cinema.
More profit for film studios so they re released films in 3d.
Digital distribution has led to people losing jobs as people don't go to the cinema. Which is why they introduced 3D again to increase cinema attendance and profit.
Action and horror genres dominate 3D, devaluing these genres.
