	Film Portal This article is within the scope of WikiProject Films. This project is a central gathering of editors working to build comprehensive and detailed articles for film topics on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, or visit the project page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion.
Stub This article has been rated as Stub-Class on the quality scale. ??? This article has not yet received a rating on the priority scale.
Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Citations needed

I have moved the following to talk since there are no citations to back these "facts" up. Fountains of Bryn Mawr 21:54, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Despite the inefficiency, Moviolas have a few subtle advantages over digital film editing:

* Undoing a cut with a Moviola and film splicer is time-consuming and complicated, thus and editor is liable to be more careful with the cuts he makes.

* Moviola cutting is done with rushes, and under most circumstances only one print of the rushes is ever struck. This makes multiple concurrent versions of a film, created by studio heads, producers, or other third parties to the director, a practical impossibility.

* When cutting on a Moviola, it is impossible to make one-off copies of a version of the film, without sending the work print off to telecine. Thus, it becomes very difficult to pirate a copy of the film out of the editing room.

Hello, everybody, can I suggest that there is no interrelation between a given brand of editing device and the style one evolves ? I think it´s rather the physical presence of film which makes an editor behave differently at work. In reaction to the statements above I´d like to say, editor myself, that of course you can have several prints off a take. That is nothing else what you do in electronic compiling, it´s been here since decades. Naturally film positives will cost more money than digital clones. To close my point here, “inefficiency” is a most respectless word in this respect. The machine is never inefficient, it is man who judges it that way, or: Only a Poor Workman Blames His Tools. --80.219.135.52 17:59, 24 March 2007 (UTC) (Filmtechniker)

[edit] Filmmaking???

From the description: This project is an attempt to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to films and film characters on Wikipedia. How does this article describe a film or film characters? It describes equipment used to edit a film. I think this is the wrong classification. Opinions? Manway 18:23, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

The filmmaking WikiProject has been integrated into WikiProject Films as a task force, which means that the scope of WP Films has expanded to all film topics. I expect the banner will be updated to reflect this shortly. Girolamo Savonarola 18:58, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for changing the category. I agree it fits better. Please do not erase talk that is not vandalism. Thank you. Manway 22:56, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

New topics go at the bottom. Girolamo Savonarola 22:58, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

You're right and I stand corrected. Apologies. Manway 23:00, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
