Nowadays it is not only large companies that can make films. Digital technology enables anyone to produce films. Do you think it is positive or negative development?

#companies #films #technology #anyone #development
At present, we have seen a considerable rise in the number of
people
 who are capable of making films or movies and it all boils down to technological advancement. While others think that it is a negative development, some
individuals
 are of the opinion that
this
 brings a positive impact on society. In my personal viewpoint, it is necessary to look into the pros and cons of both situations before forming an opinion. It is irrefutable that because of the upgrade in technology, a lot of
people
 can now have the ability to make a
film
 anytime and anywhere. In previous times, for a person to be able to record a video, he or she needs to have a video camera, high-technology devices and a laptop to edit the snaps. But now, smartphones can now be used as a dual tool: a video camera and an editing device at the same time since many filming applications can be installed or downloaded on phones.  On the one hand, I believe that
this
 brings about useful and productive development for
individuals
. There are a lot of advantages that can be noted. Since
people
 can shoot a
film
 just by using their phones, they need not hire high-end editors, photographers or videographers and spend a huge amount of money paying for their professional fees. To add to it,
people
 are able to
film
 whatever they want at any time of the day because they have their gadgets with them wherever they go.
Individuals
 who are talented in filming can
also
 be discovered just by posting their videos and movies on YouTube or any other social media platform.
On the other hand
, the disadvantages cannot be ignored. Persons who have the ability to
film
 may invade other
people
's privacy. They can take a snap of
people
 without asking for their permission and it is alarming since some
individuals
 do not like the idea of being filmed. On top of that, these skilled
people
 can
also
 make a movie
that is
 not appropriate for certain age groups
such
 as sex, drugs, and murder scenes. To sum things up, I pen down saying that, it is indeed that the capability of large companies to produce a movie brings positive development to the society and it can totally outweigh its drawbacks.
However
, we should know where to draw the line and take maximum advantage of
this
 minimising its harmful effects.
