In the present world, technology has completely changed how photography and the film industry are practiced. The development of technology is said to have influenced the development of art throughout history. According to statistics, both businesses are eager to spend money on cutting-edge machinery that would boost their output quality and draw in a larger audience. Electronics, editing software, and control programs all play a critical part in enhancing the quality of the photographs (Naomi Rosenblum 2012, p.4). The appearance and development of camera have changed the state of things in the art world. In the film industry, the advancement from silent movies to up-to-date minute films and cartoons contributed significantly to the entertainment industry (David Campany 2008, p.26).
Impact of Technology on Art
Today with technology, people can observe a movie, a theater play, and cartoon which are related to the same book. Some people prefer to visit shows. But most of the people will go to the cinema or buy a CD. In the music, many music bands now create music only for exact movie \nTechnology develops a passion.Evolution of Photography
Photography gives us the opportunity to depict everything in obsessive details. The costs are minimal, and it saves time for instance when ordering a portrait or a landscape. The techniques used at present are sophisticated, and they allow the photographer to produce images depending on the needs of the customer (Naomi Rosenblum 2012, p.4). In the past, some people were keen on photography because they believed it didn’t have any spiritual meaning and a part of human’s soul because the mechanical device made it. It gained popularity long ago, but the use was not limited to depicting people. Photographers used to take photos of different outstanding works of art, and it gave a possibility to show it to the whole world. Technical improvements involved introducing color into carbon prints and eventually developing color printing methods. They were significant factors in transforming the study of art history into a serious academic discipline (Naomi Rosenblum 2012, p.10).Influence of Photography on Painting
Photography could leave several kinds of painting in the past as it was considered to be one more kind of art. It, however, influenced the painter as Miniature painting could not exist with the introduction of the camera. The portraits were, however, enhanced according to G.F. Watts when he wrote to Sir Charles Wentworth Dilke, 2nd Bt (1843-1911) in 1873, according to him they help to make things stand out when necessary (National Portrait Gallery, p.24). Photography allows people to think about new ways of development in order not to lose such kind of art as painting.Technology and its Impact on Demand Patterns
Technology influences the demand patterns. It has significantly changed the demand patterns of the people and artists now they see a need to improve themselves and their techniques. “The pictorialists’ soft imagery and romantic approach to photography, for example, contributed significantly to the commercialization of pictures (Mark Osterman 2008, p.36). Nowadays painted pictures are costly. There are a lot of galleries and exhibitions of paintings. There are a lot of styles and directions. Going to such places is considered to be an activity for educated people who have broad horizons. Besides, there are also plenty of photo exhibitions. The community finds photography to be a kind of art and is commonplace to visit such exhibitions. There are a lot of schools training on the same subject, and people are eager to master the skill. Photography has shaped the modeling industry, and many people are making a living from the same. Such people have certain parameters, and they always try to stick to them. It has also improved the painting technique and painters make their pictures as real as they can, and they also have a choice to stop. For example, painters can play with light and reproduce everything in obsessive details in their pictures as well as photographers. It is important to say that such people show us world as it is. They take photos that are used to teach the young people about the past achievements. They can use them to make informed choices about the future. Photography not only shows us the past but also the future. Different individual photo sessions can demonstrate the vision of the artist. And very often it is quite predictable and may give us a hint concerning the events that can happen in the future. Art allows people to understand who they are and also gives them an opportunity to define goals about life. Photography can, therefore, be philosophically allied with art because it manipulates versions of reality to reveal truths” (Leslie Mullen 1998, p.37). The fact that defines us, and it acts as a mirror to society.Technology and the Film Industry
The Films industry have made significant contributions to society they show definite things or people in the movement. Those considered to have made outstanding achievements include Camille Silvy’s Vallée de l’Huisne (1858; London, V&A. They had an ability to capture the movement of the water and the tonalities of the sky and clouds” (Naomi Rosenblum 2012, p.7). It would later improve from silent movies to cinematography. The changes involved people acting rather than being confined to posing for the camera, however, those acting in isolated films would represent (David Campany 2008, p.135). The developments in filmmaking have advanced it to gain consideration into a kind of art. People, however, have different views and with the emergence of studios with different equipment that produce both qualitative films. It is hard to have one definition as both have the different possibility.Enhancement of Quality in Films and Photographs
The development of filmmaking requires the development of equipment, skills, and art in general. Technology and innovation in the early years, for example, the invention of sound films and artistic techniques both played a vital role in increasing the demand from the consumer. The incorporation of slow moving techniques narration and experimental film are known to have improved the quality of the work significantly (Kevin F McCarthy 2002, p.24). The technology developed and different genres of films appeared. Research indicates that the quality of video and film equipment rise while the cost drops, it is the reason why many artists adopt these forms that allow them to experience growth and develop more work (David Campany 2008, p.26). The comparison with the theaters and filmmaking indicates a lot of differences, but they have a lot of similarities. Filmmakers, however, use a lot of effects and they can do everything they want with up-to-the-minute graphics, and it is the reason why they have gained more popularity.Encouraging Innovation through Technology
Besides, humanity still has well-known theaters. Technology plays a pivotal role in attracting customers to the theaters. Most of them use good special music and sound effects. They record their performances, and it looks like a film. For example, famous French musicals are known for their outstanding contributions to the industry. A lot of actors and actresses take part in performances. All their plays are recorded, and they look like films on the stage. Moreover, there are a lot of films which are made of musicals and theater performances (David Campany 2008, p.26). For example, “Moulin Rouge” or “Beauty and the Beast”. Some plays and films refer to the same book. So, people can observe several variants and interpretations of a book. Music came under the influence of filmmaking and technology. There are many music bands which make music only for films. What is more, almost all singers and bands have their videos. They record it can present their new songs in their interpretation. These videos look like mini films. So, the development of filmmaking has a significant impact on music. Due to it, artists can make their own stories and show their vision of reality and fiction.The Role of Technology in Learning
Technology supports learning. It has allowed the filmmakers to reflect authors’ points of views, their view of this world. It is an opportunity for everyone to see other people's way of thinking. The society is made up of people with different skills and talents, and we all have something unique that we can use to teach others. But very often people find out something new and useful for themselves. They grasp the idea of kindness and helpfulness or strong-willingness and achieving success. Filmmaking is such a kind of art which can change something, show essential things, teach, and help (David Campany 2008, p.26). People all over the world are waiting for new films or the continuation of it. They listen to music they have heard in films and buy different things with the depiction of heroes.In Conclusion
Nowadays technologies allow people to create beautiful pictures and fantastic films. New technologies intrude in all spheres of art. Music, theater, and painting are under the influence of it. The world is developing together with the techniques. And every area of the modern arts is also growing together with the world's progress (Kevin F McCarthy 2002, p.24). Without technology, the demand patterns of the photographs and films will go down as tastes and preferences dictate people.Reference
