TECHNOLOGICAL CONVERGENCE in PRODUCTION PRACTICES

For every question, cover the 4 stages of film making: 
conception, production, distribution (marketing), exhibition.
Technological convergence of different production practices would cover 

• CGI (The Avengers and the work done by Industrial Light and Magic on the NY city skyline, the helipad, Avengers like The Hulk etc)
• IMAX film for quality of immersion (Gravity, The Avengers, The Hobbit different cameras and film and obviously projection)
•  VFX (like motion capture of Gollum in The Hobbit, the Hulk in Avengers). London now favoured epicentre of film making thanks to combo of tax breaks and VFX studios The Sunday Times 27.04.14
•  animation within moving image film Beowulf
• 2 D, 3D
• budget films made on iPads and iPhones (Life in the Day, Ridley Scott 2010 here) 
• very low budget technology crowd sourcing of plots (Netflix, House of Cards); crowd sourcing of resources Tortoise in Love
• 48fps (The Hobbit dir. Peter Jackson). 
• TV channel for Bond movies
