Digital Art History Slides
The history of cinema at home:
In the 100 years or so that home movies have been around, we have seen evolve from use by extremely wealthy to anyone with a digital camera or mobile device camera. If you look at the major milestones in film and video development through the years, it is easy to see how we got where we are today. The next 100 years should be equally fascinating!
Overview
Since the first introduction of moving images in the 19 th century, we have been fascinated with its powerful entertainment and storytelling ability. Capture the essence of people to move, speak, gesture, and is the highest power of documentation. Beat the letters, diaries and photographs, with which had previously been the method principal is the recording and reporting.
In a sense, the film consumer-access became available in 1900 represents 20 century version what we now call the user-generated content. From the moment that manufacturers such as Eastman Kodak Company provides consumers the ability to make home movies on their own, the industry began a wonderful and complex evolution that has led to the generation of today's YouTube video.
Now anyone can be your own historian and upload moving images to the world wide web. But how did we get here?
Evolution of 16 mm film to digital Video
The introduction of film cameras and projectors in the 1880's created an enthusiastic audience of this new medium and led to wealthy individuals with financial resources to go out and buy a movie camera in their own home.
The first efforts to the production of cameras and projectors for consumers were quite expensive, however, and to make matters worse, the film was made at the beginning of a nitrate, a highly flammable and dangerous material. Many of the films early seedlings were lost due to nitrate composition.
One of the most successful formats to emerge later in the decade of 1920 was 16 mm film by Eastman Kodak. (Increasing mm refers to the actual width of the strip of film). Recognizing its importance, several manufacturers started producing cameras based on this format. Unlike of nitrate film last year, the most recent film was made in a celluloid base, for greater security. The cost for a typical family however, was still somewhat prohibitive. Only the rich and privileged had the means to buy the necessary equipment. This drove the market experimentation movie format less expensive for mass production.
This led to the introduction of 8 mm film in 1930. In half the width of 16mm, 8mm film was less expensive and easier to use. The 1930's saw other key events, as well, including the ability to sound and color film new consumer usage, including the famous Kodachrome film.
For the next few decades, both in the form of 8 mm and 16 mm film were used to make home movies, The average consumer prefers the smaller gauge of 8 mm film, video and more professionals opting for 16 mm. Home movie making continued the gradual increase in popularity until 1965, when a new format called Super 8 was launched. Unlike the previous formats, which requires manual loading, is in a cartridge system. Super 8 film was easier to use and less expensive, and helped expand the home theater technology to the many individuals and families who could not pay the 8 mm and 16 mm formats. As a result, more and more people began taking home movies to record family milestones.
One factor that facilitated the next major evolution in the home theater was television. In the 1970 and 1980, television stations went from film to video, which was more easy to work with more affordable, and may be seen immediately – no more problems with sending the film to a lab for processing. This made the evening news more "real time" than ever before.
Although the film was still the best media format for color communication and vitality, ease of use and affordability of video tape can not be denied. VHS (propeller vertical scanning) and Betamax had emerged in 1970 in two formats competing with the VHS format eventually won out. Consumer videotape was available grade VHS, VHSC (a compact version) and 8 mm tape. The advantage VHS-C and 8mm tape was that it allowed a video camera, even smaller to be used in place of bulky systems that were so heavy and cumbersome. Further improvements in technology also allowed longer and longer recording times on the tapes, increasing from 30 minutes to several hours.
Consumers had quickly captured the benefits of television stations were already enjoying, and during the decade of 1970 to early 1990 video cameras and their accompanying systems VCR (video cassette) exploded in popularity exponentially. A whole generation of young families able to capture their children in the video for the first time using video cameras and tapes were much more affordable easy to change out of their predecessors.
This proliferation and increased familiarity with home movie making paved the way for the digital revolution. Now that most people had used video cameras, or at least watch movies Homemade amateur videographers and others, the transition to digital was fairly intuitive. The first mini digital video cassettes in the 1990s led to the production video camera, even smaller, providing the ultimate in lightness and portability. These MiniDV cassettes also offers increased longevity and many other advantages such as digital image clarity and lower cost.
In recent years, the most important milestone was the development of video cameras to the right writing to a DVD disc or hard drive built-in camera, thus eliminating a step in the process of transferring images directly to digital format.
The power of digital video and the growing sophistication of Internet by chance coincided in the 21st century to create the phenomenon known as social media. A Once video is in digital format, anyone can upload content on the World Wide Web and make it accessible to hundreds of thousands of spectators. Consequently, user-generated content in the world of home theater has gone from one to a few one-to-many to one to millions. No projectors, clumsy, awkward connections video camera with a large number cable that connects to televisions, or dealing with fragile physical media such as video tapes.
The future of home theater
Today hundreds of moments are captured daily on digital video – there probably has never been a generation that has been so thoroughly documented in each of its activities and movement.
However, the boxes and boxes of reel without converting old house films and video tapes are still trapped in the basement of the family and closets everywhere. These formats, ranging from 8 mm on a VHS tape before the date on which the digital revolution.
Fortunately, there are organizations and services new ones have been formed with the aim of preserving these old formats and publicize the urgent need for these media on the longevity of the digital world as soon as possible. Organizations such as Home Movie Day (www.homemovieday.com) hold celebrations worldwide to commemorate the amateur film, and provide a place where families can detect their old home movies to catch a glimpse of their heritage.
In the past 100 years, moving images have become increasingly accessible, convenient and accessible through a variety of devices, whether television, computers, cell phones or other mobile devices. More than ever, have the ability to record and view personal slices of life to add the professional images captured as part of the broadcast news segments, documentaries and Hollywood movies. It will be interesting to see what the future brings video content generated by users mature. If history is any guide, the trend toward more Lighter, faster, easier, less expensive home movies and more widely shared continue.
