Cultural Analysis of Film vs Digital

In the following blog post I evaluate Quentin Tarantino's comments on this issue based on cultural significance

1. The argument of film vs digital has been heating up over the last couple of years. Arguments have been made for and against both of these methods. Some keywords for this argument are "revolution" "resolution" and "generation".
2. The main idea behind this argument is that filmmakers grew up making films on film. It has been part of their back story and why they fell in love with film. So why fix it if it isn't broken?

Freewrite:

To a movie goer, it is nearly impossible to tell if a movie is shot on digital or film, some don't even known what that means. If you were to walk into downtown Tucson movie theatre and ask everyone in there if their film was shot on film or digital, I would be willing to bet that less than 10% get it correct.

Film and digital have only minor differences in post production however during production it limits and changes how you make the movie. This is such an irrelevant issue to most however to those who are interested and care about this field it makes a world of difference.
