  I was literally in a movie recently with inexplicably wet streets, and the director said it was because the extra reflected light looks great on film.

    Yeah, and it does. It’s WAY more eye catching.

      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, film is still a universally recognized term for a movie despite a lot of (not all though) movies being made with digital cameras.

        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.
