At present, when Hollywood commercial films are shot live, is the storage medium in the camera film or hard disk?

As a new media, although digital has developed rapidly in replacing film, it is actually not mature enough. Its related theories, attitudes, values and social significance are not perfect, so it is not enough to completely replace movies, but it is considered that they are two different media. This is undoubtedly the main reason why many Hollywood directors are still desperately supporting film production and film dignity in such a commercialized and digital era. Therefore, the decline in film production is not a long time ago. As a traditional media, it still has its own advantages, and it is these advantages that make film not completely replaced by hard disk.

First of all, there will be a sense of solemnity when shooting with film, and the requirements for shooting scenes will be more stringent. At present, people who like to use film not only like the texture of film, but also like the professionalism it brings. Once they switch to numbers, not only will this sense of professionalism disappear, but the entire industrial process and the distribution of power within the crew will also change. After digitalization, the whole industry has become hasty and the efficiency has improved, but the quality is difficult to keep up. In a word, digitalization makes movies approachable and faster, and more people can make movies, but the proportion of good movies is getting lower and lower.

Ironically, no matter how advanced digital technology is now, it initially pursues the feeling of film. Therefore, although digital has its own independent shooting and screening process, aesthetic characteristics and theoretical system theory, as a medium that also serves the film, it will inevitably be compared with the film, and even go online to compare their respective personalities. The so-called film feeling is very abstract, but after watching a 35mm film movie shown by a projector, you will feel the very humanized, natural, casual and comfortable texture and touch.

In any case, movies and hard disks, as two independent media, have their own different means of expression and a series of symbols and connotations as media. Although the older generation of filmmakers are obsessed with film, after all, digital shooting and projection are independent, so it is not whether film or numbers should be used, but which means of expression is more suitable for this film. Sin City's shooting, for example, was unthinkable in the film age.
