Film Stock: An Overview
� Film stock length

Video Technology
� Video image consists of pixels
� Low picture quality compared to film
� Video’s strengths – cheap stock and no
processing
� Used in amateur filmmaking and low-budget
documentary productions during the 1980s –
early 2000s until displaced by digital
8
Digital Technology
� More versatile, easier, and cheaper to use than
film
� Uses less light than film, requires no processing,
easily duplicated
� Involves an electronic process that creates its
images through a numbered system of pixels
9
Film versus Digital Technology
� Film stock is a physical thing; digital is virtual
representation
� Computer-manipulated digital requires no lab
processing
� Film has a particular aesthetic – film grain, depth
of color and shadow
� The key factor for a digital conversion is
economic
10
Film versus Digital: Economics
� Digital distribution is cost-effective compared
with film distribution
� The threat of pirating digital formats remains the
same as film
� As of 2009 Hollywood had used digital systems
to produce less than 1 percent of movies
released
� Virtually 100 percent of all feature films are
digitally edited
