ANALOGUE Vs. DIGITAL
The basic difference between analogue and digital photography is that one of one is more modern than the other; to put it in the most simplistic of terms. Analogue photography consists of rolls of film rather than a tape or a memory card that saves your images as you go along. The analogue camera is still used today because of its immense picture quality. It is able to catch every glimpse of light and makes all images sharp. The main disadvantage is that after the images you have taken are developed they may not look the same way you thought they would.

Digital on the other hand is the more modern way to capture video/still images as all of your creations are at your fingertips. If you're not happy with the image you can delete it there and then and there's not as much fuss included. However, the shots you do get are not to the same quality of that of an analogue camera. As far as filming is concerned, analogue cameras are seen to be ideal as they are less expensive, although the amount of money a film maker would spend on rolls of film would add up to just as much as having a digital camera in the first place. The digital camera (concerning filming) is more equipped for change in weather conditions, and a lot more portable where as the analogue camera is seen to be "old fashioned."
The world of cinematography is changing through the lense of digital videography. More and more directors are using digital and even though analogue is said to produce sharper quality pictures, the unique elements of digital, such as the portability, make it preferable.
