Film and video

notes:
early 50s videos
Beta tapes mainly used in tv
only big budget tv were shot on film
tv started to move onto video once available
digital videos started in the 70s first introduced commercially 1986
it led to Dv tapes large and small








The history of films started in 1890 with the new invention of the first ever motion picture camera and the establishment of the first film production companies and cinema's. The first films made of the 1890s were all under a minute until 1927, these motion pictures were produced without sound. In 1906 Mitchell and Kenyon filmed at a fairground, this also included to sound or colour.




Film is a chemical process which is used for analogue recording, copying, playback, broadcasting and display of moving visual and audio media on an item called celluloid. Celluloid is a transparent, flammable plastic made in sheets from camphor and nitrocellulose, it was used for making cinematographic films. In 1889, George Eastman made celluloid films commercially available.


The first celluloid film was a size 16mm which is pretty small but it was still good enough for cinema. Because of the size the films usually would come out grainy since it would have to be stretched out pretty far. As the quantity of film and film makers got bigger the demand for standardization grew. Between 1900 and 1910 film formats slowly became standardized and film stocks improved. Eastman increased the length of rolls to 200 feet. 35mm began to become very popular because of the popularity of Edison's and Lumière's cameras. 35mm is better quality because it has a bigger frame so to stretch it out you wouldn't lose as much quality as you would with the 16mm.


DV tapes were first used in ____. It is a format medium for the recording, copying, playback, broadcasting and display of moving visual and audio media on magnetic tape.




















Video is an electronic medium used for analogue recording, copying, playback, broadcasting and display of moving visual and audio media on magnetic tape using an analogue video signal


Digital video is a type of digital recording system that works by recording, copying, playback, broadcasting, and display using a digital rather than an analogue video signal.


digital cinematography is the process of capturing motion pictures as digital video images as opposed to the historical use of motion picture film. Digital capture may happen on video tape, hard disks, flash memory, or other media which can record digital data through the use of a digital movie video camera or other digital video camera.
