Following on from my research into the effects of digital ehancements on film, I watched the modern Dr Who over christmas and was shocked by the digital effects.
Surely with the technology today they could make the digital effects much more realistic and powerful. Instead the modern Dr Who chooses to use quite poor digital effects which give off a sense of Nostalgia to the classic Dr Who (starring William Hartnell).
This made me think that although digital technology is widely used in film and TV, we don't always use its full potential. As an audience we like nostalgia, we like to relate to things we know...
This post also relates to the "Remix Theory" by Lev Manovich (see previous post) as the modern Dr Who is nothing but a "Remix" of the classic Dr Who...
