The advancement of technology affected how generations absorb the concept of what makes a good film

When cinema began to affect general population as a whole rather then be a gateway or privilege based on economic stature, technology was advancing so quickly that almost every couple of years the next idea revolving around cinematography was being introduced. In modern world, many people look past alot of traditional film techniques and look for special affects. If a movie lacked in special effects, certain viewers would look at it differently but this comparison to the average movie watcher doesn't stem from content or quality but by how much or how visually stimulating one can you make a film. This reflects the idea of how technology affected these generations. In modern 1st world society, a life without movies or special effects or even video games seems unreal. We are spoiled with amazing HD quality and affects that would leave older generations speechless if given the opportunity to experience what we have considering they had. This idea isn't negative, it actually stimulates the idea on what could be the next technique or advancement in the future. A perfect example is 1st person camcorder styled movie. These movies became super popular in the "2000s" where it wasn't really done much if at all in the past. It made its breakthrough and lots of movies using the technique flooded cinema. As a phase and as time moves on it is now just another technique. Another is when CGI was a rave. Almost every movie would spam CGI and rely less on acting and camera use and more on green screen. I conclude this with stating that i feel fortunate to live in such an advancing society and im excited what cinema/media has to offer in the future
