ASSIGNMENT: FIL VS DIGITAL

Film:
A film, also known as a "movie" or a "motion picture," is a series of moving
images shown on a screen, usually with sound, that make up a story. The first
image that was ever captured on film was by Joseph Niepce.Having a clear
advantage over digital is in natural light. Film is meant to be shot in natural light,
and that’s where it thrives.Digital camera sensors, are made up of millions of tiny
squares that give us an image. Film isn’t split up in such a linear way, and because
of that, it naturally blends light and colors better.Thirdly film has aesthetically
pleasing grain,the grain that you get from film is much more pleasing and natural
light.
Advantages of Film Photography:
They have full frame depth and a greater dynamic range therefore captures more
colour and light than a camera sensor.
They give the photographer a consistent and similar look to their work pieces.
Benefits of Film Photography Film challenges the photographer to think more and
produce better pictures by thinking about light, shadows, colours etc.

Film gives us the various way to show our talent manually,film is great because
there are so many different types of cameras and stocks of film to choose from.
Making it a good picture. Film negatives can last for years as long as the surface is
not scratched and if it is stored properly.
Film delivers a higher dynamic range, which makes it better at capturing detail in
whites and blacks.

Disadvantages of Film Photography:

Does not have autofocus and auto exposure systems which allows face detection
or contrast detection on images captured.
Pictures cannot be seen until printed out which can sometimes be inconvenient.
Film cameras perform better outside which makes shooting indoors a bit
impaired.
Sharing images amongst friends and family is considerably more expensive to
digital images.

Film speed:
Compared to film, digital cameras are capable of much higher speed (sensitivity to
light) and can perform better in low light or very short exposures. The effective
speed of a digital camera can be adjusted at any time, while the film must be
changed in a film to change the speed.

White balance:
Film typically assumes using separate films to account for white balance of scene
(typically in two variants: for sunlight or tungsten lamps), or usage of filters. Many
film cameras had a dial to help user keep track of type of film that was loaded in
the camera.
Dynamic range:
Both film and digital sensors exhibit non-linear responses to the amount of light,
and at the edges of the dynamic range, close to underexposure and overexposure
the media will exhibit particularly non-linear responses. The non-linear dynamic
response or saturation qualities of emulsion film are often considered a desirable
effect by photographers, and the distortion of colour, contrast and brightness
varies considerably between film stocks. There is no limit to the number of
possible levels of colour on emulsion film, whereas a digital sensor stores integer
numbers, producing a limited and specific possible number of
colours. Banding may be visible in the unusual case that it is not obscured by
noise, and detail may be lost, particularly in shadow and highlight areas.

Difference between a Film Camera and a Digital Camera:

A film camera exposes photographic film to light in order to take a picture A
digital camera produces digital images that can be stored in a computer and
displayed on screen.
Digital:
A digital camera produces digital images that can be stored in a computer and
displayed on screen.

Advantages of Digital Photography:

Digital allows you to adjust the look of your photographs to match the mood you
are trying to evoke. You can shoot as many pictures as you want and not worry
about frames.
Transparent and immediate; you are able to see your shots and decide if they are
good or need to be reshot. Every copy is an original copy no matter how many
times it is sent out or printed.
Disadvantages of Digital Photography:
If you fail to import, store or back up your images from your device or computer
all the images can be lost forever if something happens Digital cameras are
relatively a lot more expensive compared to film cameras.
Your storage space on your digital device will eventually reach its limit meaning
you have to delete, transfer or buy a new memory card.
With a wide array of features and functions, it is a bit complex in knowing all the
features. Example editing on screen or adjusting the light.

ISO:
Photographic film is made with specific characteristics of colour
temperature and senstivity (ISO). Lighting conditions often require characteristics
different from those of the film specifications, requiring the use of filters or
corrections in processing. Digital photography allows colour temperature and
sensitivity to be adjusted at each shot, either manually or automatically.
