Forum:The Street on Film v.Video

It's interesting in watching eps from the 70s and 80s how the actual scenes on the Street exterior are shot. From what I've seen they seem to be almost exclusively on video during the early 70s. From about 1975 onwards they seem to start shooting on 16mm film on some occasions although on other weeks they record the Street scenes on video. This pattern seems to continue until about 1980,although it seems to be increasingly on filmduring this period. I can't really recall any other video shoots after this until 1988 when the use of film seems to stop completely-the one notable exception being the Rovers fire in 1986.

The most interesting aspect is the 1975-80 period when they are using both systems. Would this be a case of recording on video when the film crew aren't available. Any opinions or knowledge on this subject would be interesting to hear.70s Fan (talk) 20:03, September 8, 2012 (UTC)
