one of the best feelings you can get while browsing movies is the one you get
when you discover that your favorite film has been remastered and re-released
then you purchase it rush home with your new blu-ray of Blade Runner or whatever
and force your significant other to watch it with you pointing at all the minute little differences but despite
how often we Fork over large sums of money for better versions of movies or
music we already own rarely if ever do Studios explain what makes a film or
music more Mastery let's start with what
Master means in the first place so in the worlds of film and music it's a
remnant of the old days of vinyl an adage borrowed from the manufacturing
Community referring to an object's original mold from which many copies can
ultimately be made often times though the final versions of records and then
later films wouldn't be directly copied from the master anyway but instead from
a small run of high quality copies of the Master known as mothers but nowadays
when we hear the term remastered often times what they mean to say is
transferred from an older analog medium to a newer digital one while meeting all
the necessary requirements to be certified as DVD Blu-ray laser disc or
whatever you see back in the days of analog there was a lot of contention as
to which type and size of film was best
so there ended up being quite a wide range of film using an even wider range
of color grading and aspect ratio so often times the first step in
remastering a film is scanning the Master Copy with a specialized digital
camera usually at a minimum of 2K resolution to meet DVD and Blu-ray
standards but actually going up as high as 8K and more resolution once
technicians have scanned the original work at their desired resolution they
begin restoring the digital print by using software which does things like
remove film impurities that have been transferred such as dust spots and
cigarette Burns an industry term for the corner blip on screen which indicated to
the editor where splice points between reals went they will also likely adjust
the color fill and contrast to try walking that line between the modern
standards that viewers expect and the film's original intended appearance from
there it's just a matter of cutting it down to the proper aspect ratio remember
that hold warning on Films all the time blah blah blah that something has been
formatted to fit your screen so it'll most likely be 16x9 these days for now
anyway and then after the visuals have been settled technicians turn towards
the audio once again they utilize specialized software along with a lot of
time and Care in this case to help them remove sound impurities like background
mosquito noise or to boost dialogue or
edit audio levels as needed and more importantly if you've got a you know
fancy surround sound speaker setup adding effects like surround for the
modern movie Watcher and pretty much there you have it if a studio says that
they've done something more than that well it's one of two things either
they're just trying to get you hyped up to get your Nostalgia and therefore
pocketbook flowing or they actually have
done more than that something that upsets a lot of people some of which get
upset about the mere Act of you know colorizing a film saying it takes away
from the purity of the viewing experience While others are it takes a
lot more to get them upset you know things like adding dob back so now we
can buy Star Wars in its fifth form since it's release or however many they
have now it's probably too many to count I can't count very high speaking
of counting fresh books why are you doing all of your accounting when you
get home at the end of the day when you're tired after you've been doing you
know I don't know contract work or Plumbing or whatever the case may be no
