Professional skills how did digital take over the film stock?

How the digital field took over the original film stock?

The original film stock was a physical copy so along as the stock was safe then the film itself had a physical copy however with the digital era it was so much easier to copy a film from one area to another so it would have a back up which is an additive to why the digital era took mover when it came around, film makers saw it as an easier away to store and film a  movie as well as the original film was a lot harder to expose correctly and get correctly, there was an exact science behind it, it was an art from in a way which meant only a few people could do it correctly and get the look and feel that the director wanted.

Digital at the time was a breath of fresh air to the editors,t the camera operators and especially the producers who didn't have to spend so much on getting the film stock in and having enough spare for multiple takes, misspeaking and genuine hiccups that happen during the filming process. For the editors it meant learning a new area of media editing which will have been difficult to begin with but once the skills arose and the adaptable new editors stepped forward the ones that retained the skills to still edit, cut and trim the film stock to a degree. For the camera operators how ever it meant that the process of setting up a film camera was much simpler, there was no black bag to assemble the film into the camera into, there was no getting the film stock in the right place, they could focus more on the ideas of the directors and working more closely with the the angles and exposure
