Tradtional filmmaking VS Digital cinema

1)Using “Mission to Earth” as an example, note what is new or different about digital cinema compared totraditional filmmaking? Consider the story and appearance of the film.


According the the "Mission to Earth", we can see quite a difference between digial cinema and traditional filmmaking. Digital cinema is more user friendly compared to the traditional one. As there is much more automatic functions which was set in the digital camera, users only need to press a few button to achieve what they want. Traditional camera have less automatic function, most of the time is depends on the users themselves.
Also, digital camera only need a piece of memory card, than it can record quite a long time. If your memory card have greater GB, you can reocrd longer. If the memory card is full, you only need to put another piece of memory card inside the camera and press the record button again. And we can use software to link the seperated parts again very easily. However, traditional camera need films to record, and there is always a limited period of time. Whenever the film comes to the end, you need to take out the film from the camera very carefully and avoid light. And the break of the record can't link together.
We can recognize that throughout the "Mission to Earth", there are some pause scenes. And this is what would happen when we use traditional camera.
As the "Mission to Earth" is recorded by traditional camera, we could see that there is little close up shot compare to films nowadays. And we can see the quality of the scenes seems less clear than the digital camera.



2)What other art forms (eg film, digital art, painting, websites etc) does this film remind you of? Explain the similarity.
I think the film reminds me of some scenes which is behind the scenes. It is very natural and realistic, we might not know what the actress is waiting or doing for what, however, we could have quite the same feeling or action like the actress. Like walking around the street with no aims, doing nothing at the room.etc.
Although the quality of the scenes is not as high as today films, but "Mission the Earth" is quite down to earth to me.
Also, there is some strange pause throughout the whole film. Everytime this kind of scenes appear, it reminds me of some piece of paintings. It seems that the time of that moment is stop and someone draw a picture for it. It is strange but I think it is quite a special style.
