Concept Preliminary Task 2

As a result of this technological convergence now is changing the way audiences consume media. Different directors all have differing opinions and feelings towards shooting digitally. For instance, George Lucas, who directed Star Wars Episodes I–IV, shot Star Wars Episode 2 digitally in 2002 because he thinks it's the future. Another director, Christopher Nolan, who is known for his work on "Inception," "Dunkirk," and the "Dark Knight" Trilogy, prefers to use film as long as he can. The main conflict here is whether o...
