Analogue

Analogue and digital technology are two different types of editing and recording, However they are the same in the sense that they do the same job.


What is analogue?

Analogue was what filmmakers would use before digital was invented. It is a device that represents changing values as continuously variable physical quantity. In other words, it is a device that is always on but cannot be turned off due to it running mechanics and signals.

The main types of analogue used was in film and television. Of course their are other uses for analogue such as a clock, however we are focusing on the media. In television, analogue TV was used by transmitting signals from a broadcast station and the TV would essentially capture those signals. It was not the most efficient due to poor weather conditions would damage the frequency in the air waves therefore making it difficult to capture the signal.
