- As well as digital helping 3D and cinemas, it also helps the movie itself. This is because movies can now have better sound and a better soundtrack, because of the change from analog to digital. This now means that it is easier to record the songs, meaning a better soundtrack. This is an example of convergence, as well as cross-media convergence such as having a soundtrack on a film.
- The increase in digital media means companies like big talk productios can record films for a much cheaper cost, because they do not have to shoot on 35mm film. Doing this also means that they do not have to spend a lot of money on the distribution and getting the films to the cinema, because they now do not have to transfer over 100 film rolls costing £4k each.
- For the audiences, home entertainment is crucial in their daily life. Because of the increase in new figital media, it now means that they have a better viewing experience. For example, digital media includes HD and BluRay.
- As well as audiences being increased because of the newly developed digital media, it now makes it much easier for the people at home to make their own films. This is because digital cameras are now selling cheaply on the market rather than film roll cameras. This means the ordinary people and people of the audience can now shoot their own clips. As well as the hardware, digital software such as Final Cut Pro allow the audience to edit their films for a much cheaper price. And not only can they edit and shoot their own films, they can also distribute, advertise and show their films on different website such as Youtube, DailyMotion and advertise cheaply on their Facebook pages; and what we did with our own films was advertise and share them on each of our own blogs.
