The impact of digital technologies on the production and consumption of moving images 2007-2016
Key Propositions from the Research Period
|
- The Construction of a set of rules for Digital Cinematography
- the optical pathway is 35mm or above (derived from technical and industrial limitations possible at the time of origination for manufacturing photo-chemical negative).
- it generates a progressively based lossless data/image flow, at 10 bit depth or above, which relates to a specific time-base as opposed to an interlaced image flow (one full frame of information at a time rather than a field-based workflow)
- like one of its predecessors, film, it holds the image in a latent state until an act of development (or rendering) is applied - but unlike film is nondestructive of its prior material state
- its capture mechanism though generating a nondestructive, non-compressed data pathway from which an image can be reconstructed, is not its sole intent as a medium or method of capture (but is distinguished from digital video, the sole intent of which is to generate images in a compressed manner from less than 35mm optical pathways)
- Flaxton T, (2012) The Human Condition - an HDR project for SIm2 Display. As this was encoded for HDR it will not play back at the correct luminance - however, it will give a flavour of what we were trying to achieve with a range of luminance
