Web film



A web film is a film made with the medium of the Internet and its distribution constraints in mind.[1] This term aims to differentiate content made for the Internet from content made for other mediums, such as cinema or television, that has been converted into a World Wide Web-compatible format. Web films are a form of new media.

ŀ==Forms==

There are broadly three forms of films that can be encountered on the Internet:

Form Description Defining Features Example
Traditional Promotion A digitised version of films shot with the same production methods and technology used for TV/Cinema. Often 35mm or high definition digital footage. (Usually highly compressed when on web.) Cinema Trailers online, for example the trailer for Lord of the Rings [2]
Films Not Made for, but Distributed Via the Internet A film taking advantage of the Internet for distribution. Often large files and/or designed to be downloaded not streamed. Highly compressed versions of pirated films. The short film 405 The Movie [3]
Web Films Films made with the medium of the Internet and its constraints in mind. Made in harmony with Internet & computer technologies such as streaming or Flash or After Effects. The short film 'Distance Over Time' [4]
