Film and TV

Film and TV refers to the two primary forms of visual storytelling that are produced for entertainment, information, or artistic expression.

Film typically denotes a motion picture created for theatrical release, which can encompass various genres such as drama, comedy, horror, and documentary. Films are generally characterized by their length, which is typically over 40 minutes, and are designed for public viewing in cinemas or festivals, as well as home viewing through various media.

Television (TV), on the other hand, refers to a medium that transmits moving images and sound for home viewing, typically through broadcasting, cable, or streaming services. TV programming includes a wide range of formats such as series, miniseries, specials, and documentaries, often divided into episodic formats with shorter runtimes than films.

Both film and TV have a significant cultural impact and often influence societal norms, trends, and discussions. They employ various artistic techniques including cinematography, editing, sound, and performance to convey narratives and themes. The two industries have increasingly merged in recent years, with many filmmakers also creating content for television platforms and vice versa.
