Important elements of internet filmmaking:
1. The internet is a powerful new tool for independent filmmakers in that it’s cheap, free from centralized control, and it is global. It is now quickly changing as Hollywood has become interested in the future opportunities regardless of the dot.com crash. The internet allows for a kind of experimentation that breaks down traditional structures.
2. The net is going to require that filmmakers look at their work in a new way. Many conventions of traditional filmmaking don’t apply and to a certain extent filmmakers will have to re-think the medium. Major questions are size of screen and connection speeds. Other considerations are marketing tool vs. online theater. The format shapes the story.
3. Due to the current technical limitations think positive as a creator: we are living in the days of a technologically imposed dogma.
4. Film on the net is not going to replace traditional methods of distribution, but it’s a new avenue of distribution that filmmakers need to be experimenting with now not only with new storytelling methods - but also with aesthetics and interactivity.
5. The Internet allows filmmakers to make a project outside of a system and distribute it around the world without seeking permission or approval.
