ICT AND FILM INDUSTRY

digital engineering in the departed decade has tot all toldy changed the characterization persistence. Foc teaching on the signifi freightert procedures of photograph qualification and the impact that engineering science had on from each mavin of the areas, this research would hang at late reforms in the pre-production part of make do, moreover we will try to k like a shot the newfangled instruments, equipment and storage facilities universe used by modern delineation theatre makers and producers. adopt distribution and the adverse impacts that technology has had on the movie diligence, majorly on the illegitimate sale and plagiarization of procure stuff and nonsense is scrutinized.Post-theatre characterisation distribution and the revolutionary breakthrough technologies in the industry are explored to look at the continuous changes in education and exercise of professionals in the movie industry. Computer generated naturals and the exploitation impact IC T has made in the industry is covered and the rising of the necessitate industry is predicted. ICT played a lot of positive role in dissimilar manifestation of the humanity today. It has touched the medical industries, educational sector, governmental sector and even the movie or word-painting industries.This paper discourse on how ICT seduce positively impacted the movie/ dart industry today. If we all remember our young age, we probably debate of the 1700s, 1800s, or 1900s when the movie we watch are all cassettes or analog, and probably non durable, with the help of ICT today we can tick changes in the motion enactment technology in the present world. As revolution continues in the movie industries the impacts of ICT gravel made the fol pitiableing changes Technological tools go for changed the script writing procedures by making use of the earnings, using digital editing tools.The internet is too been used by scriptwriters to forward their scripts to producers, directors and effectiveness cast associates in other to be limited reviewed by each characters either by peer review in a way of online forums. There has been a authoritative increase in the by(a) decade in the use of digital impression cameras for fool away with low budget planning along with racy definition video which is set to compete and go beyond the standard 35mm contract both in quality and flexibility (culkin & Randle 2003). The post production configuration of movie making has possibly been the most in-chief(postnominal) impacted by the new technological inclination.The introduction of non-linear technology has made the use of convey edited manually inefficient and eon consuming. This procedure involves fixing and set together film in a virtual screen where the directors, producers, and editors view the come out(p)put of the film on screen. (culkin & randle 2003. p. 8) The whole course of film making has been completely technology driven, every(prenominal )thing from the distribution to the projection of movie to audiences (consumers). However, the absence of commercial agreements between distributors and exhibitors of the films has slowed down the revolution to digital technologies.For instance, only 170 cinemas roughly the globe pose converted to what is recognized as high-end digital (culkin & Randle 2003). Profit margins for the studios are recognizably decreasing, now being out casted or outnumbered by the game industry. So satellite delivery stimulate recently made its source follow outation on film industry and reports has shown that upon full execution of film distribution, it can save the film industry of appeal of $700 million per year. (markman). A major problem the movie industry has been facing for the past years since the introduction of technology in the industry is the piracy and copyright issue.For this reason copyrighted movies have been easily affordable more than the skipper film produced for distribution. For movie and music inwardness, these place to quite a few lawsuits against peer-to-peer networks and individuals as result for steal and distribution of these movies and music materials. This will always be one of the major industries issues the industry would have to compositors case since the public (consumers) has advance to this low cost copyrighted material (peer-2-peer and DVD writers).Nevertheless, the movie industry has endeavored to slump the risk of piracy of movies by creasing the (CSS) known as content scrambling system in which only sure DVD or VCD products which entertain a certain decipherment algorithm can play the peculiar(prenominal) movie. The same technology also has the capability to rearrange the video and audio on the DVD/CD so that only a DVD with the same decipherment algorithm can play the film perfectly. The CSS technology is also designed to prevent users from direct copy of data from DVDs.Though, not long after(prenominal) the CSS technolog y was introduced, Norwegian teenagers reverse engineered a DVD technology by breaking the code that contain the decryption algorithm and uploaded decryption software for users around the world to use. These means that the movie industry would expect to keep updating and also find and option to this difficulties (markman). The post-theatre marketplace accounts roughly for three quarters of movies income during its life sequence. The principal of these are ideo rental shops which accounts for close half of all profits (). The DVD has completely brought a new dimension to the industry, becoming the instantaneous growing customer electronics item of all time (culkin & Randle 2003). DVDs have undeniably increase film studios income when it decided to get out movie content to the home consumers with unbelievable picture and sound quality which does not worn out like the old VHS cassettes (markman). A new and promptly developing area in the distribution processes of film industries i s Movie on demand.This is a scenario where consumers transfer their desire movie over the internet instead of going down to their local video break in or cinema sept. The advantage of this technology is that nigh reduction or no-fees are needed to access the movie and the inconvenience if any when travelling to the video rental store or cinema house (culkin & Randle 2003). Rapid changes in the movie industry in recent years have forced many another(prenominal) professionals around the world in audio and graphic industries to acquire new and specialized skills.This is an ongoing development in most industries. An example is that the post-production industries are evaluate to have continuous upgrades of equipment and software which will lead to continual re-training of employees/crews which in turns increase production be (culkin & Randle 2003). Future distributions might comprise allowing editors in different countries to editors in various countries to edit film by just gain ing access to digitized media on a legion without actually leaving the comfort of his or her house. artificial satellite distributions to cinemas are at the vanguard of future film circulations and distributions. George Lucas, the director of star wars is looking forward to using satellite technology to project the rest of the circumstance in cinemas. This process of digitally distribution of the film through data projectors is known as E-Cinema (& Randle 2003). It is not expensive and by all odds flexible in term of distribution power nevertheless Cinemas who wish to implement this new technology would have to acquire secure expenses when converting to digital projection.This technology is very much s work in the development level and the impact is not really seen yet (& Randle 2003). Gregory Huang article titled the new face of the movie industry studies the development in information processing system animated graphics in past years. Recent blockbuster movies like Spiderman 3 are good examples of how far electronic computer graphics have come in recent years. The movie industry have come to a stage in which every single event in film making process can be computer generated .In past years, the technology illustrations of faces have not looked real when seen a lot closer as it is easier to make non- charitable objects like dinosaurs real, moreover, gains in rendering human body or skin, lighting or change digital scenes and examining human characters or actors are now allowing animation engineers to manage and take control of every sing movement of pixels in an animated initialize (skin).Huang (2004) reports that an average budget for a bestseller film cost approximately $150 million where it is exceptional to see more than 50% of funding allocated to just the computer generated effect which in turns raise revenue to rough average of $700 million per year. At least we can say that there is no area at heart the movie industry that has not been imp acted by technology over the past years. The major impacts for pre-production phase have been focused on the development of script-writing tools as well as the increase use of internet to distribute script to editors, directors and other important parties deep down the industry.Generally equipment costs have drastically increase drastically reduced at the same time quality and flexibility of products has increased. The confinement of non-linear technology has all but made hand edited or manually edited movies an extinct and fast-track the whole film editing process (culkin & Randle 2003). The major downside which has increased concerns around film industries around the world is that it has become passing easy for consumers around the world to copy copyrighted movie material and this keep generating problems in the industries till date.Finally we can say that the advancement in technology would only continue to bring improvement in the movie industries around the world and it is de finitely set to revolutionize the industries for years to come.REFERENCECulkin, Nigel & Randle, Keith 2003, Facing the digital Future The Implications of Digital Technology for the Film Industry, University of Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire.
