Anon watches an American flick
(sh.itjust.works)
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
Those aren't film, they're tape. Film is what's in the camera or shown through a projector and are visible to the naked eye. VHS, Betamax, and video2000 are magnetic tape formats that aren't viewable with the naked eye. Regardless, "on film" is still a universally acceptable term for "on the recorded video" no matter the format because terms stick around in industries
Bonus trivia: not all older videos were shot in “film”. That is why some 80’s music videos on YouTube look great, while others not so much (other things being equal). The “film” ones can be re-scanned at a higher resolution and retain a lot of the original detail if the originals are around.
Uh so what are older (I'm assuming before digital) videos shot on if not film?
*Wait do you mean like old tv shows? I think some of those were shot on tape.
