The Changing Landscapes of Digital Media: Embracing New Practices Through Art and Style

The fast advancement of technology and the shifting nature of audience experiences have led to a growing perception that the art and style of conventional film and television are at risk of being lost. The depth of significance of new films and media are influenced by technological advancements. As examined in an article titled “How Technology Has Changed The Film Industry” from Falmouth University (2023).

The article claims that the availability of filmmaking technology, such as advanced cell phones, has increased creativity. However, this democratisation raises worries about falling creative standards and the difficulties that conventional filmmakers confront in distinguishing themselves in a crowded market.

Being adaptable and self-aware is essential as the content ecosystem changes further because we must acknowledge that people, technology etc. will all change. Navigating the benefits and problems brought about by democratising content creation requires this adaptability.

A YouTube video called “The Future of Filmmaking With Riot (Ryan Conolly)” from the channel “Digital Production BuZZ” that refers to “The Future of Filmmaking: How Technology is Changing the Industry” by Film Riot (2015) might be used to further demonstrate these ideas.

Discuss how technological breakthroughs and new creative techniques are transforming filmmaking. Ryan Conolly is to investigate how filmmakers are responding to these changes by incorporating creative tools and artistic styles that reflect larger movements in digital media. This is consistent with the idea of adopting new approaches to improve storytelling and visual expression in the changing media landscape.

The video also explores how new technologies like artificial intelligence and virtual reality can be used to produce stories, providing insight into the potential of filmmaking in the future. the film offers a thorough summary of these technological changes, making it an invaluable tool for comprehending the challenges and opportunities faced by filmmakers in the digital era.
