Abstract:
Image
quality
has
always
been
one
of
the
most
important
aspects
to
achieve
in
digital
cinematography.
The
advent
of
the
digital
camera
provided
greater
potential
to
manipulate
digital
information
in
a
software
interface
for
a
better
image.
But
because
of
the
accessibility
to
technology
in
today’s
digital
culture,
it
can
be
argued
that
people
have
a
better
understanding
of
the
technology
itself,
albeit
only
at
a
basic
level.
The
purpose
of
this
paper
is
to
discover
what
actually
has
an
effect
on
a
digital
image,
then
implement
the
findings
in
the
final
cut
of
thesis
film
“Passing
Through
Traveling
Down”
project.
This
research
paper
provides
insight
into
selected
topics
such
as
sensors
and
their
dynamic
range,
tonal
depth,
linear
RAW
files,
and
Bayer
processing.

Abstract:
In
addition,
this
paper
briefly
mentions
the
concepts
of
the
photoelectric
effect,
the
scientists
who
made
it
possible,
and
the
significance
of
it
in
digital
cameras.
Furthermore,
it
documents
the
final
re-touched
images
from
the
thesis
“Passing
Through
Traveling
Down”
project
generated
out
of
post-production
software
in
an
attempt
to
illustrate
with
an
understanding
of
several
topics
that
are
discussed.
