There are a two crucial aspects of film that technology effects, these being, production, and post-production. The easiest way that I can analyze the effect that technology has had on film, is to use an example of a particular film, to do this I will use The Matrix. This film is a great example of what can be accomplished with the advances in technology.

The first and most obvious effect that technology has had on film has been the advances of cameras and film stocks. When film was first introduced in th

With advances in film stocks as well as ways that film can be processed, it has completely changed what can be shot on film. At first, film stocks were not very sensitive, in that you needed a large amount of light to expose a picture on the celluloid of the film. For this most of the early films were still shot in studios or were shot outside, but only when there was a lot of light on the subject. If there was not a lot of light there would not be an image burned onto the film. With the slow development of film stocks, filmmakers were able to shoot in low lit situations and were finally starting to be able to tell their stories in the way that they wanted to, with out being held back by not having enough light for a particular scene. The advances of processing techniques has given filmmakers a chance to explore their imagination and the luxury of not having to worry about things that earlier filmmakers have had to deal with. Filmmakers are now able to manipulate film stocks and the way that they are processed so that they can create varied visual effects that have never been seen by audiences. With this they are able to provoke varied responses to their audiences and are able to manipulate film in particular ways to have certain effects on the viewer.

With the advances in technology have come advances in the way that films are produced and also the way in which audiences appreciate them. The implication of the computer into the post-production of films added so many more possibilities towards how a story was told. Computers have made it possible to create action sequences, locations, and entire realms that would be way to expensive if not impossible to create with normal means. For this stories have also developed, and especially science fiction stories. In most science fiction stories they take place in exotic and mystical far off planets. With the use of computers and software of today it is now possible to create futuristic lands as well as whole characters.

With all these advances in film technology, there have been countless numbers of films that have changed the way that audiences view films. This technology has given filmmakers a chance to venture out into worlds that were never thought attainable, as well as given filmmakers freedom over their thoughts. It has shown us that no matter how much technology springs up, that no matter what, it can only be used as a tool to better a film and that the story is still and will always be the most important aspect of a film. These tools help to create a seamless world that the audience is able to escape into, and because of technological advances there will be many more interesting stories, as well as many more techniques that will be created for filmmakers to manipulate and have at their disposal.
