The shift away from celluloid as the default method of
producing film has produced a time of upheaval in the cinema industry. The rise
of digital technology has led to changing practices in the construction of a film;
every step of the process is now able to be carried out on digital medium. The
film industry faces a production process that does not resemble the process as
it occurred when most of the current established film makers were learning
their trade. This has triggered several of these film makers to produce films
which respond to the changing times (Gilbert 2012, 2), including Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris (2011). Midnight in Paris laments a bygone era
of artistic creation, and in doing so also laments the fading method of film production.
