The Bee Movie

During our filmviewing in ITMM103, we watched a movie entitled "Bee Movie". It was fun, exciting, and full of adventure. My significant learning about the movie is that all living things was created to be unique. All living things has a role and a purpose for each other. If one living thing doesn't do his role right then, it would affect other things. Just like in the movie that when the bees won the case, they took away all the honey's that the humans got from them but what they dont know is that it would greatly affect other living things like the flowers that died because the bees didn't work anymore because they already had lots of honey. I also learned that even though we are on top of the food chain, we must also respect what other living things are doing for us. We must not abuse the things that nature is giving us. The part of the movie that struck me most and amazed me most is the part when the bees was able to talk to humans and filed a case. A scene that also amazed me is that when some of the bees look like and worked liked humans. I would like to promote in my website that would have a social relevance is that I wanna warn humans not to be too abusive in what nature is giving us.

History of television

Digital video evolution

Digital video or filmmaking is the modern filmmaking process binding computer, digital technology and film creative. Digital film started from 1980th. In the history of film developing, digital technology is the most fleetly that separated to all aspects of filmmaking.

Until recently, Hollywood studios were the only ones who had the money to pay for digital tools and for the labor involved in producing digital effects. However, the shift to digital media affects not just Hollywood, but filmmaking as a whole. As traditional film technology is universally being replaced by digital technology, the logic of the filmmaking process is being redefined.

Someone defined digital video in this way: Live action footage is now only raw material to be manipulated by hand: animated, combined with 3-D computer generated scenes and painted over. The final images are constructed manually from different elements; and all the elements are either created entirely from scratch or modified by hand. (What is Digital Cinema?)

The earliest use of moving pictures was an outgrowth of magic lanterns and similar optical devices, which could be used to display a sequence of still images in such a way that the eye would perceive the images as being in motion. With the development of photography, film became possible to record moving pictures as well. The use of film also made it more feasible to use a projection system to display images for audiences, when other techniques sometimes required the individual to look into the device to see the pictures.

In 1999, Digital cinema demonstrations to the public begin. On June 19th in four theatres, two on the West coast and two on the East coast. Lucas Films and 20th Century Fox debuted Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace as the first major motion picture theatrically exhibited as digital cinema using a Pluto digital storage system in the D-5 compression format. In 2000, February, digital cinema demonstrations go international with two theaters equipped in London, England, one Manchester, England, one in Brussels, Belgium, one in Paris, France and one in Tokyo, Japan for all digital showings of Toy Story 2. In 2001, January, Japan opens the first totally digital cinema theatre. In 2002, As of March 1st digital cinema technology has now been exposed to over four million movie-goers throughout the world. These digital cinema demonstrations began on June 18th 1999. Since that time, over 30 movies have been released in an all-digital form.

To understand digital video, we must first understand that there is a difference between video for broadcast television and video for personal computers. Broadcast professionals have, and will continue to, demand high quality video. Their efforts and requirements are responsible for many advancements in the technology of digital video.
