He starts off comparing cinema to video and then moves on to discuss broadcast television. Technology is Belton’s main area of focus while he compares and contrasts film and video. As someone who is uneducated in the area of media, I found some of his comparisons to be very helpful in finding the differences between film and video. First, Belton shows the similarities and differences between cinema and video. These two are the same in that they share a similar sound recording technology. But, according to his facts, cinema comes from such media like photography, photochemistry, and the persistence of vision, while on the other hand, video evolves from the telegraph and the telephone. This is strong evidence of the differences because photography is completely different from the telegraph. Also, cinema is more mechanical and photochemical, quite contrary to video in which there is no photochemistry and has no moving parts. Belton points out very persuasive evidence to verify that video is not cinema. And, in my opinion, he does a convincing job of presenting it and has made me see the differences between the cinema and video.
