computer and cinaematography

there are a lot of movies out there and you either love them or hate them but this article focus on the judgment of films by the academy and film associations due to the drastic differences the digital and traditional films end results.

first off the traditional way is used in more independent films and involves filming on a set or on location  wile using the digital way involves the use of a green screen and a bunch of digital composers that render and artificially create the movie using computers. the article used the examples of gravity and an't them bodies saints to show case the major differences between the two films creation stiles, for one thing the film gravity looks like it was actuality shot in space getting a real advantage over the other films because off the get go you fell like its  actually happening. That being said a film can still pull you into the story weather or not you have high end graphic equipment but I takes a lot more form the actors and script writers. The article also made the excellent point that there dose exist a medium between the two ways, those movies blend the digital world with the traditional to create something extraordinary, the once apon a time TV series and bed time stories. This articles ending said the author it's looking forward to the future of cinematography and I agree.
I have one simple rule to movies "if you want to make it better then add a giant robot" of cores that was the idea of pacific rim and we all know that turned out, my point is everything has a chance to fail no mater how many good things they have going for them. The digital cinema is no different it all comes down to the script and the willing ness of the actors. Like everything there is a right and a wrong way of doing things that in no way affects what kind of cinematography you choose.
final question "Will we be using digital effects next year?"
