Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Filmmaking task force

Welcome to the Filmmaking task force of WikiProject Films! 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

Topics explicitly outside of task force scope

• filmmakers or other people - see Wikipedia:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers
• critical theory of film - see Wikipedia:WikiProject Critical Theory
• places (excepting those exclusively used for filmmaking, such as a studio) - see Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory/Geographical
• how-to guides or manuals - this should be coordinated through Wikibooks:Movie Making Manual

Goals

Specifically, we are interested in:

• 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
