Video vs. Film

by Andrzej Magnuszewski
(e-mail: am@binaryartists.com)

If you have an option whether to watch a film on a TV set or to go to the movie theater, choose that second one. Let me tell you why from technical point of view. Besides rational reasons there are also some technical reasons that can have impact on the way you accept the image.
Film has a better quality image than the TV screen. By the quality I mean resolution of the picture - TV has visible 480 scanned lines by 640 pixels that create a picture. The film image is created on millions of parts of the special emulsion. So, the TV viewer actually doesn’t get a real full image. The TV set gives only some samples of the image called pixels that create the picture on our TV screen. Film, at least, gives us much more of these samples. So, the film image is more realistic.
