Filmmaking Today

Filmmaking today is the capturing of reality and the transformation of reality into a recognizable form from which a story can be told. Whether a film is considered documentary or science-fiction, it still requires a certain level of human input that makes the plotline more or less realist. As filmmaking becomes accessible by more and more people due to simplification of video and editing software, the filmgoer can now become a filmmaker, which only requires a camcorder, a computer, and editing software. With filmmaking becoming more democratic and accessible, the medium that is film is no longer reserved only for high-budget Hollywood studio's.
