Welcome to the Filmmaking task force of
WikiProject Film! We are a task force which aspires to comprehensively cover and standardize articles involving the technologies and disciplines involved in all stages of professional filmmaking.
Scope
Our focus is on all aspects and departments involved in the making of a film from development along to release.
Specifically:
equipment and resources used in the process of filmmaking
jobs frequently involved in filmmaking
technical concepts and processes used with or developed for films
commonly practiced techniques directly applicable to film work
companies and suppliers directly concerned with the film industry
standardizing the articles as much as possible through infoboxes, templates, and consistent terminology
providing verifiable citable references for all pertinent information
coordinating our work using guidelines, recommendations, and review
acting as the focal point of discussion regarding filmmaking articles
creating consensus on stylistic issues
engaging industry professionals - preferably from a wide range of fields and geographic regions
removing systematic bias - such as excessive or exclusive focus on a particular region's industry or a certain type of filmmaking (i.e. features, television, commercials, music videos, shorts, etc.)
welcoming anyone with a serious interest in the topics

Showcase
The following is a listing of articles (and other types of content) within the scope of the task force that have been noted for their outstanding quality. Members are encouraged to peruse these at their leisure, as they serve as excellent examples of different writing and organizational styles that one may wish to emulate.
Please note that the task force does not necessarily claim any authorship or credit for creating these. While many were written by members—sometimes with extensive input from the task force as a whole—others were created by uninvolved editors, or predate the existence of the project itself, and are listed here merely because they fall within our scope.
