Advantages and Disadvantages of Digital Technology in The Film Industry

There are many benefits of digital technology in the film industry. the main one and probably most obvious is that it can easily reduce the films distribution costs. In other words they don't have to pay for film prints which usually cost $1000 or more each. It also improves the quality of special effects which therefore increases the reality of the film and viewers enjoyment.
The disadvantages of digital technology in the film industry are mainly the large costs involved with digitisation of all the cinemas throughout the world. Also the large costs involved to purchase digital filming equipment. There is much needed training involved, about how to use the new digital equipment safely and to the best of its ability. Also, in order for the film industry to maintain their level of success, it is important for them to take on board the fact that digital technology can provide many opportunities for them. The digital technology can clearly benefit the film industry a great deal. However, there are some disadvantages that come with the digitisation of the film industry, but without embracing this new digital technology the film industry is undoubtedly going to suffer, similarly to how the music industry has.
