Digital Cinema

Well, I know that it is going to take over

traditional reels of film, so much cheaper to distribute.

But I really don’t want it to happen, me and my

friends agree that part of the “buzz” (pun not intended) of going to the cinema, is the various

scratches and marks as you watch the ad’s and movie.

I’m not particularly educated in this matter- I

understand how the traditional reels of film work, but what is digital cinema?

Basically, they whole reel system is removed, and the video comes from a disc or

something I guess.

So it is like a DVD

player in the cinemas?

Well, that does sounda bit silly, but effectively

yes.

They believe they can just distribute it digitally, because the only gain from the cinema is big

screen and big sound. I actually, as stated, like all the scratches on film etc., doesn’t particularly effect my

viewing.
