The earned value management method is commonly used for monitoring and assessing project budget and schedule performance. Although widely used, this method does not consider the time value of money. This paper suggests the inclusion of inflation as a factor affecting project performance and gives a methodology to do so using the net present value. This is done by adjusting the present value and actual cost of the work packages. The result is more realistic progress measurements and performance indicators.

Modern digital technologies in cinema have added a great development in many fields; the most important of which is the field of cinematography, lighting, and the field of film editing. This research highlights the important role of these technologies in the development of the Jordanian digital cinematic film industry by analyzing one film as a sample, the Jordanian digital film "Captain Abu Raed", which used modern digital technologies in its production in cinema in 2008. The film is analyzed qualitatively and the role of modern digital technologies in making is examined. The research consists of four sections, where the first section includes the definition of the research problem, objectives, significane, the procedural definitions, and the research sample. The second section includes the theoretical framework for the research, where the research discusses the importance of modern digital technologies in Jordanian cinema and their development, and presents a theoretical framework regarding the basic elements in digital cinematography as follows: cinematography, lighting, and film editing. The third section also analyzes the research sample, which is a Jordanian digital cinematic film "Captain Abu Raed", and it highlights the digital technical aspects in its production. The fourth section includes the research results related to the research.

As a risk control tool, earned value analysis is crucial for identifying risky trends in the budget or schedule of a project. This tool relies on earned value management, a method for calculating cost and schedule variances. However, this method does not take into account the time value of money. This in itself is a threat that could lead to misleading data and eventually wrong decisions. This paper explores the risk management process, the earned value management method, and proposes a methodology that compliments the earned value management method with net present value calculations. This will allow project managers to take sound decisions based on more accurate information.
