FILM FORMAT FOR MAKING

 A film format refers to the technical specifications of how an image is captured and the terms used in both (Filming) how an moving images are captured and photography. 

For movies, film formats can also include audio parameters. 

Film formats affect   

• resolution

• depth of field

• grain and more.

As a general rule of thumb the larger the film format, the higher the resolution and the shallower the depth of field. 

 In the late 1990s, HD cameras began to crop up in filmmaking, but it wasn't until the mid-2000s that digital cameras began to rival the quality of 35mm.

And by the 2010s, digital formats overtook film for most productions. 

Digital formats can be differentiated through sensor sizes.

Like with film,

 the larger the sensor size, the higher the resolution, and the shallower the depth of field.

Legendary DP Ed Lachman argues: 

"For me, film is like oil paint in the way it renders color and mixes between the colors. 

Digital just does not have the same depth or texture from the flat, pixel-fixated plane of the sensor."
