Digital Cinema - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Postmodernism leads perfectly into Post-Cinema, as they both disturb the traditional norms of classical cinema.
      - "Most of the postmodernisms mentioned above emerge as specific reactions against the established forms of high modernism, against this or that dominant high modernism that conquered the university, the museum, the art gallery network, and the foundations." (Jameson, pg 1-2)
  - - - Continutiy that focuses on a more intense editing style by having shorter cuts, tighter shots, and extreme lense lengts.
        
        Intesfied continuity

  - - - Indexicality in film refers to the direct, physical, and causal connection between the recorded image and the subject filmed, where light from an object strikes a photosensitive surface
  - - - The Two Post-Cinemas
        "The first holds that the replacement of celluloid-based by digital technologies in the production, distribution, and exhibition of movies has fundamentally transformed the cinema. Digital cinema, according to this view, is a new medium." (Nannicelli & Turvey, pg 33)
        "The second version of the post-cinema thesis argues not just that the cinema has been radically altered by digital technology, but that it is no longer a distinct medium because it has been subsumed by another medium. It has been dissolved into a broader medium in the digital era." (Nannicelli & Turvey, pg 34)
- - - - "Refers to a set of loosely connected social and political theories that suggest that rather than trying to slow down, redirect, or subvert capitalism, it’s preferable to accelerate it, thus bringing it ever faster to its inevitable self-destructive end." (Rombes, pg 1-2)
  - - - Consumer capitalism, where consumer demand is manipulated on a very large scale through mass-marketing techniques. In the digital age, this system is even more prominent.

        The Poor Image is a form of acceptance and comfort with low quality.
        
        The Poor Image
        
        "The poor image is a rag or a rip; an AVI or a JPEG, a lumpen proletarian in the class society of appearances, ranked and valued according to its resolution. The poor image has been uploaded, downloaded, shared, reformatted, and reedited. It transforms quality into accessibility, exhibition value into cult value, films into clips, contemplation into distraction. The image is liberated from the vaults of cinemas and archives and thrust into digital uncertainty, at the expense of its own substance." (Steyerl. pg 1)
        
        "The emergence of new formal features in
        culture with the emergence of a new type of social life and a
        new economic order — what is often euphemistically called
        modernization, post-industrial or consumer society, the society
        of the media or the spectacle, or multinational capitalism." (Jameson, pg 3)
- - - - Found Footage films present the story as if it were real footage that was found/recovered.
        
        Found Footage
        
        "The found-footage horror, however, goes beyond such claims. The films are not
        presented to us as "inspired by" real events- they are supposed to constitute the
        audiovisual documentation of these events." (Sayad, pg 45)
