Cinema technology has remained much the same for a century, so when will it go digital? Kevin Hilton views the projections Paragraph Cinema is full of contradictions It is high-tech and old-fashioned at the same time Today’s films are full of digital sound and computer-generated special effects Yet they are still stored on celluloid film, the basis of which is more than 100 years old They are also displayed with projectors and screens that seem to belong to our great grandparents’ generation Paragraph Now that we are in the second century of cinema, there are moves to bring the medium right up to date This will involve revolutionizing not just how films are made but also how they are distributed and presented The aim is not only to produce and prepare films digitally, but to be able to send them to movie theatres by digital, electronic means High-resolution digital projectors would then show the film Supporters say this will make considerable savings at all stages of this chain, particularly for distribution Paragraph With such a major technological revolution on the horizon, it seems strange that the industry is still not sure what to call itself This may appear a minor point, but the choices, ‘digital’ cinema and ‘electronic’ cinema (e-cinema), suggest different approaches to, and aspects of, the business Digital cinema refers to the physical capture of images; e-cinema covers the whole chain, from production through post-production (editing, addition of special effects and construction of soundtrack) to distribution and projection Paragraph And what about the effects of the new medium? The main selling point of digital cinema is the high resolution and sharpness of the final image But those who support the old-fashioned approach to film point to the celluloid medium’s quality of warmth A recurring criticism of video is that it may be too good: uncomfortably real, rather like looking through an open window In 1989, the director of the first full-length American digital high-definition movie admitted that the picture had a ‘stark, strange reality to it’ Paragraph Even the money-saving aspect of e-cinema is doubted One expert says that existing cinemas will have to show the new material and not all of them will readily or rapidly furnish themselves with the right equipment ‘E-cinema is seen as a way of saving money, because print costs a lot,’ he says ‘But for that to work, cinemas have to be showing the films because cinemas are the engine that drives the film industry.’ Paragraph This view has promoted some pro-digital entrepreneurs to take a slightly different approach HD Thames is looking at reinventing the existing cinema market, moving towards e-theatre, which would use digital video and projection to present plays, musicals and some sporting events to the public This is not that different from the large-screen TV system that was set up in New York in 1930, and John Logie Baird’s experiments with TV in the late 1920s and early 30s Paragraph Heading ix III Read the text below and fill in each numbered blank with ONE suitable word (1.0 p) Our classes take place for three hours every morning from Monday to Friday The (1) class size is twelve and the average is ten We use modern methods of teaching and learning, and the school has (2) language laboratory, a video camera and recorders You will only be successful in improving your English, however, if you work hard and practise (3) English as much as you can You will take a short (4) in English as soon as you arrive In this way, we can put you in a (5) _at the most suitable level There are two classes at the Elementary level: one is for complete (6) _and the other is for students who know only a little English In both classes you will practise simple conversations In the class at the Intermediate level, you will have a lot of practice in communication in real-life (7) _ because we help you to use the English you have previously (8) in your own country You will also have the chance to improve your knowledge of English grammar and to build (9) your vocabulary The emphasis is on oral communication practice in a wide (10) of situations at the advanced knowledge You will learn how to use language correctly and appropriately when you talk to native speakers In addition, you will develop such study skills as reading efficiently, writing articles and reports, and note-taking from books and lectures Trang 3/4 ... and other forms of “picture writing” developed in the (3) around Mesopatamia (modern-day Iraq), where the (4) Sumerian civilization was based, from around 33 00 BC onwards However, the first... because there is no _for them A demand B requirement C claim D request A policeman suddenly appeared, so the thief quickly on a motorbike A took in B made off C handed in D took over 10 She insisted... “alphabet’ The modern European alphabet is based on the Greek and (8) to other European countries under the Romans A number of changes took (9) as time passed The Romans added the letter G,
