Digital vs Analogue - Initial ideas
Location Idea: Wembury Bay
For my final piece for comparative film practices, I decided to outline Digital vs Analogue, I decided to talk about the way that both film or digital cameras function, outlining some of the key features that you are given to create any type of image or film that you desire. My whole piece explores the differences or pro's and con's with film and digital through a short 3:30 piece shot around the seaside at Wembury Bay.
Plans
Idea of shooting the seaside using a digital camera, my nikon d3300 with a range of interchangeable lenses, I would like to use the possibility of colour correction to recreate a film feel to certain pieces of footage where the VO that I am creating talks about analogue etc. The content for the short film would include surfers, wide angles of the beach, over exposed, under exposed shots to link with the analogue possibilities within camera, idea for panning shots to be a inside camera editing technique, possible flickr for the colour corrected shots to make them stand out and signify film stock.

Idea for voice over
With digital image sensors, we determine resolution by counting the number of pixels within a given area, a wide angled panning shot of the seaside would reach up too around 24 mega pixels, using a nikon d3300 and a 10-20mm sigma lens.
Film puts a practical limitation on the amount of shots you have available to you at any given time, tending to amount towards exposures between 24 and 36 in a 35mm camera, it all comes down to the types of film or camera that you use.
The dynamic range of digital cameras is inferior to film stock.
You become conscious of your shots, paying close attention to your subject.
Nothing matches the organic tones grain and flickr that are achievable with film, but with the digital sensors we can expose the frame to capture the clouds in the sky or even the mist covering this mewstone., but i feel like the effect within a film camera is still much more organic and beautiful.
Film typically has more latitude than current digital sensors, exposing negatives by a stop means we still have the ability to create detail from the highlights, there's very little room for error with digital sensors.
I believe that there is still a growing community of camera operators who opt to use both mediums as a way to expose, highlight a particular time and space.
