Lesson+3

The development of technology in film is changing at a rapid rate. What was once a very simple form of media entertainment has become something very complex and advanced in the technology world. **Task 1 - The history** Create a timeline, animation or an infographic showing the development of film technology through the ages. Anything from hardware to software from film capture to effects. A good starting point maybe the camera obscura created by Leonardo Di Vinci (Yes the artist) in the 1500's or maybe the development of cave paintings that showed the representation of movement.

 * Task 2 - The current**

Have a look at how films are made to day and the technology that is behind them. Create a presentation that shows the new technology on the market and what films have recently used it. A great example of this is a films effects studio in the UK called double negative that worked on alot of big motion pictures such as Harry Potter and The Dark Knight Rises creating all the digital effects that make something unrealistic and fantasy look realistic.


 * Task 3 - The future**

Have a look at what is in development and write a short report on where you think the film industry is heading in terms of technology and how it is filmed.
