SimplyScripts Screenwriting Discussion Board / Screenwriting Class / Comprehensive Glossary of Film Making Terms
Posted by: steven8, March 4th, 2023, 9:43pm
When I was trying to figure out what the term PROCESS meant for a location description in my Ghost and Mr. Chicken screenplay, I finally found it at the site I am now posting a link to. I don't know why I didn't do it then. I believe this is an invaluable tool for anyone wanting to get in the business, to help understand the lingo when folks who do know start talking.
From the description:
This is not a complete collection of all film-making terms, because so many of them are too obscure or technical to be included. However, this listing should provide enough background for a majority of the important terms, and prompt the reader to research them further. When discussing film and the creative craft of film-making, many of these terms are used to describe the complicated and expensive process or task of making movies - from conception to finished product.
The multiple areas of film-making included within this fairly comprehensive glossary are:
the key film theories, movements, and genres
aspects of film history and film criticism
various slang, lingo or buzzwords
kinds of film-making equipment
the basics of cinematography and stylistic information (types of camera shots)
numerous industry-specific, business terms or technical terms
the various movie crafts (screenwriting, directing, special effects, sound, editing, etc.)
the personnel involved (including actors, writers, directors, producers, designers, and behind-the-scenes technicians)https://www.filmsite.org/filmterms.html
