Ever since the progression of TV from simple analog channels, extending into systems such as Cable television like VIRGIN TV and Satellite television like SKY. This gave audiences a massive number of channels to select from. Including radio and 'timeshift channels' there are nearly 700, ranging from the BBC channels to religious and documentary channels with the oppurtunity to tailor there choice of channels at extra price. Giving audiences a much wider selection and also a great number of companies setting up TV stations for profit. All TV channels are now created with funding from advertising or making money.
Still, television is being made more and more accessible and maleable to people lifestyles. For example On-Demand television was created, which allows users to select and watch previos programmes they have missed. This has also been adopted by the internet with sites such as BBC iplayer or 4OD. Allowing you to watch programmes on demand with just an internet connection.
Digital Cameras vs Film Cameras
There are many advantages of digital cameras over using film and tapes. A big part is that the process is much quicker and easier. For example with a digital camera, after filming a take during a documentary you can easily skip back on the SD card, view and decide if you want to keep it. Plus in the case of photography, film is costly and lengthy to develop, whereas on a digital the images are transferred in seconds to a computer where the photography can edit them easily. Also the risk of tape/ film being ruined is much higher than digital storage.
The widespread ability now to obtain and use editing software on videos has made the quality of any kind of footage increase. With editing software you can cut and choose the best footage, increasing it's chance of success, flowing better and removing unwanted parts. Plus adding effects and altering the video output can really add a specific twist on the video which can be very impressive on a specifc audience. This is particularly common in homemade video who do not, for example have the budget to light their front room for a drama shoot. They simply can detail it on an editing software whic gives similar effects, though perhaps not as good quality.
