FILM FORMATS EXPLAINED
Just as there are different cameras, lenses, and equipment, the type of film format you use has a direct impact on the images you create. Knowing the differences, considering their costs, and making the best choice for your particular project is a big step in filmmaking. In this video, we will cover all of the major film formats so that you can make an informed decision.
8MM & SUPER 8MM
All film formats tend to be referred to by their film gauge (width), which is expressed in millimeters. At the smaller end of the spectrum, we have 8mm and Super 8mm. Both were developed as formats for home use. The smaller stock and smaller cameras were ideal for amateurs to record home movies. This proliferated through the 20th century and it became the visual shorthand for "nostalgia."
16MM & SUPER 16MM
Both 16mm formats provide a bridge between the limited simplicity of 8mm and the cinematic presentation of 35mm. For filmmakers, these film formats thrive in a grittier look where the film grain becomes more pronounced, especially when "blown up" for 35mm distribution and projection. Filmmakers like Wes Anderson and Darren Aronofsky have shot films with these formats for that exact reason.
35MM
This has been the standard format for nearly a century before digital filmmaking took over. It has more resolution and less grain than the smaller formats, and has become the benchmark for cinematic imagery. There are four types of 35mm, The size of each frame can be dictated by how many perforations are used. This could be 2, 3 or 4-perf versions, changing the native aspect ratio with each additional perforation.
65MM / 70MM / IMAX
Large-format cinematography has rapidly become the go-to option for large-scale, event-driven spectacles like Nope, Oppenheimer, and Sinners. The size and resolution of these film formats rival even the best digital sensors. They're the most expensive, so their use is limited to big-budget productions, but when it comes to the quality of the image, there's nothing better.
DIGITAL
Most films are now shot and projected digitally. In the last two decades, the quality of digital sensors has grown exponentially. Coupled with the lower cost, it's no wonder it has become the most commonly used medium.
