Question involving camera's and movie theaters?
Do movie's have to be filmed on film strips to be played in a movie theater or can it be filmed on an HD camera and then put onto disc?
Right now in the US both are used. Film is being phased out and digital is coming in. Digital dramatically reduces the studios distribution costs. Some distribution is done online. I guess it would be like renting a movie online through Netflix. The amount of time the theater gets to show the movie depends on how long they rent it.
I dont know if theyre stored on discs though. I read they were stored on units more like an external hard drive.
Both. For many, many decades movie theaters have been showing movies on 35mm film And all these years, even now, the majority of movies are also shot on 35mm film. Digital is catching on in the movie business however.
When major motion pictures are shot in 'HD' don't confuse that with consumer HD. Some low budget movies are shot in 2k HD, cameras that the average person could buy and use, but the term HD can be used loosely. HD in the movie world usually means something else. RED cameras and Panavision digital HD cameras can capture much more resolution than consumer HD cameras.
Large numbers of theaters are changing over to digital. So many are still part film, part digital. When you see a digital movie, it's projected with a professional, theater version of DLP technology, and the movies come in two ways, they are mailed as hard drives, and they can be downloaded to hard drives in the projection system. The majority of digital systems have a 2k resolution, it has a slightly higher pixel count than 1080p. A small number of theaters have 4k systems that have about 4x the pixel count of 1080p. The number of 4k theaters is growing slowly.
Fake IMAX theaters are digital, the real IMAX theaters still use massive 70mm film.
