Changes in Technology
Examples of technological advances in the film industry include the invention of the Steadicam which allowed the camera to appear to float and enabled the stalking shots so important in horror films, developments in digital video editing techniques which led to fast paced editing and exact pacing of music with on-screen action. The Blair Witch Project is a good example of a film influenced by new technology - its entire look is the result of the use of cheap digital cameras which did not exist a few years ago and it was the first films to be marketed initially through the Internet, itself an important new technology.
