Multiple points of view

In film or TV, having multiple points of view is a great way to engage the audience. Having points of view from multiple characters means the audience will be constantly thinking due to thinking about all characters. Often, In a TV series, the audience favors a character and becomes intrigued into what will happen to them next.

In the TV series "Breaking Bad", they use multiple points of view of characters lives. For the audience it allowed them to see how the main characters actions affected everyone else.





As you can see form the trailer, there is a variety of characters that we get to see the after affects of their lives once the main character breaks bad.

The main advantage of using multiple points of view is that if the audience does not favor a characters, they have various other characters to favor from.

Another type of multiple points of view would be different views of the camera. This would help the audience get a better understanding of the scene by capturing the scene from different angles that represent views.

Digital

Digital cinematography is the process of capturing (recording) film as digital video images rather than through film stock. Digital capture may occur on video tape, hard disks, flash memory, or other media which can record digital data through the use of a digital movie video camera or other digital video camera. - (google) 






The video above explains the difference between analogue and digital signals. Digital signals are the way forwards because, an advantage for me is, they are signals that are not interrupted as much as a analogue. For example, if there was signal interference when watching analogue TV the picture would break up. However if there was signal interference and you was watching a digital TV, i would not break up as much or not at all.

A benefit of using digital over analogue would be that is is a quicker process when filming video. With analogue, it would be a lengthy process with editing because you would need to physically cut up film and merge with others. With digital, the editing process is quick and only requires the ability to know how to edit.
