While a feel this piece of writing is outdated and conceptually incorrect in places . It is very apparent that Digital technology has transformed the face of Film and its avenues of distribution.We are not witnessing the disappearance of cinema but it's transformation into multi-cinemas , through the use of the Web.
The use of the Internet seems to have unified a diversity of film making elements including the development of the script . 'The Internet has spawned discussion groups and global 'communities' that enable scriptwriters to swap ideas and make contacts'.(Roberts108)
This along with user guides for the un-experienced film maker is promoting the making of low budget alternatives. Established film makers such as Mike Figgis are finding spaces away from the normal procedures of 3 -act structures and soviet montage.
More and more the web cam is seen to influence the making of ' Big Brother' style films.
' My little eye' is a very interesting horror film that enhances a feeling of surveillance on teenagers living in a haunted house . Nobody can leave as part of a competition and last person to leave will win 1 million dollars. I have recently been looking at this Internet streamed realistic film for its total breakdown and transformation of the ' Classic Hollywood structure' .
"The idea was to give the feel of a live-vision mix........ It was quite experimental , to see if we could use this language to tell the story, "(Evans 15)
We can see that although these experimental structures are a far cry from the documentary shorts of the Luimiere Brothers , the narrative is still seen as paramount. As Robert suggests in the conclusion , all the technology in the world wont replace the talent, knowledge and expertise that is needed to produce a good film.
