    1. The format chosen depends on the typeof film being made, the financing available to supportthe project, and the overall visual look that the filmmaker wants to achieve

      The format of a movie is always appealing to me. When Sinners came out, the 13 IMAX screen was a huge deal for everyone to see for a better experience, as that is what it was filmed for. Those that seen it in standard theatre’s, hurried to rewatch it and enjoyed it in IMAX greatly. I have never seen the difference between the standard and other forms, however after Sinners, it put that into a different perspective for me.

    2. In older films, all the (brief ) production credits generally appear at the beginning, and the namesof the leading actors are sometimes repeated in (andconstitute) the closing credits. Today opening creditsvary widely, but closing credits are lengthy and ofteninclude hundreds of names, accounting for virtuallyeveryone who worked on the film or had something todo with it (e.g., caterers, animal handlers, accountants).

      Movies that are made now have long credits that people do not sit for to read, however in older films, it would generally consist of a small preview of those who worked on the film. This reminds me of how Marvel would include a sneak peak of a film at the end of their movies, showcasing the credits. I think that that is good because it truly honors everyone’s hard work and you can see most names which is good.

    3. It’s like everything else: labor and materials. Today’s films (particularly blockbusterfilms) require hundreds of people at all levels of the actual production who are trained to use highly advanceddigital technology

      It has always been very interesting to me that today’s films can not only cost much money, but also accumulate billions of dollars as well. The more that I read about the technology used and also the amount actors make, it continues to make sense. I also understand that makeup and hair artists, and so many other jobs are required to be on set and work on films which increases the amount tremendously.
