@ Naomi, I think that this is done in some classes related to media. I think it's great to integrate, analyze digital media and entertainment, but I think many educators just say "don't use it" and don't give examples of how much material is incorrect and the implications. That has to come from courses specializing in specific topics. For example, I wonder how many literature courses show film interpretations and discuss why it would be misleading to portray a Victorian lady or easy interactions between classes or slaves and masters, Sex Crimes investigating homicides, etc...

Personally I don't think that film is a threat to theatre. No two theatre performances are ever the same. Each night something will change whether it be the cast, the lines spoken, the actions moved. It's the reason that so many people are willing to see theatre performances more than once. Although the backbone of the play is the same, the things that make it unique will constantly change depending on the circumstances. In contrast to this, films will always remain the same. No matter how many times you rewind it and play again, the film will never change unless it is remade. Also theatre is more personal. It's physically happening in front of you, live singers, live performers, live action. There is no CGI or VFX, the effects are really happening which, personally I think more interesting than film, more magical to some degree. Overall the theatre is an incredible experience that often people will not forget. I think the only problem is the price. It is cheaper to watch a film than it is to go out to the theatre.

3 What is the peg/aperture that the 50s film used? How can I get the "old" effect in a Digital Camera?

The film they used was quite 'slow' by today's standards. If you didn't want to see the grain it would be ISO 25 or 50. Tri-x was 400 but was grainy. The contrast range (what is the darkest dark and the brightest white the film could pick up) would have been very different from digital as well. Very bight light as thru a window would have flared out in a way that is different from digital. You would have to have a very sophisticated program to duplicate all these variables. Most 'film look' programs we have used do not really duplicate the real effect of film and just blur the image a bit. Why don't you get hold of a still camera using black and white film and take a picture of the scene and then try and match the effect.
