Digital cinema uses digital technology to distribute and project motion pictures instead of conventional film projectors. It is commonly shot at resolutions of 2K or 4K using digital cinema cameras and can utilize available light more effectively than film. A key advantage is much lower costs - production on Star Wars spent $16,000 on digital tapes versus $1.8 million for the same amount of film. Common films shot digitally include Cloverfield, Miami Vice, and Collateral.
