Computer software originally designed for database systems is changing the way movies are made. Instead of creating and storing whole movies on reels of film ..they are stored digitally in small segments ..corresponding to scenes. Each segment contains key information about the cast, location, action and sequence of events. A computer program shows a film by linking these segments and presenting them in their specified order. Filmmakers can pull scenes from older films and reuse them in contemporary films, as well as reformat scenes or entire films for new devices. So now, someone can search through a movie library for everything that has a scene with the ' San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts' in it.
