Cine or digital effect?

[Ramos]

In modern films when it appears to be shot by a camera onto exposed film (rather than magnetic film) is it a digital effect on magnetic/digital film or is it actually shot on a cine-film style camera?

Finished movies are either made up of shots taken directly with a traditional movie camera using film, shots which have been filmed and then scanned into a computer and edited or adjusted, shots which have been entirely computer generated or shots which have been taken using a new digital film camera which stores images without any film whatsoever. 99% of the time whatever the medium the film is created in it will be output back to celluloid for showing at the cinema. That is unless it's been transferred to a new Digital Cinema system where the movie is played back from a powerful PC through a digital projector with absolutely no film involved.
