The End of Cinema Class Blog
The End of Cinema centers on
the idea that technology has evolved to the point where the concept and usage
of film is becoming obsolete. Friedberg
touches on how emerging digital technology has affected the act of filmmaking
for both the better and worse. I was
excited to read about this topic because it is one that I can personality
relate with. Unlike reading about Film
Noir, German Expressionism, and other 20th century film movements, the
digital age is one that I have personally experienced in real time. In many ways I am conflicted about the turn
to digital and I was pleased to see that so is Friedberg. Digital cinema has allowed filmmakers to do
so much more in such a shorter period of time.
While this is a good think, I believe that digital film has lead to disappointing
film trends such as excessive CGI and 3D films.
I love that some filmmakers have resisted the turn to digital, such as Tarantino, and still hold dear the romantic nature of classical film development.
