Wiki143:WikiProject Film/Filmmaking task force

Template:Short description {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Tab header}} {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Sidebar}}

Script error: No such module "Shortcut".

Welcome to the Filmmaking task force of WikiProject Film! 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

Change {{WikiProject Filmmaking}} talk page tags to {{Film|Filmmaking-task-force=yes}}.
Tag articles.
Recruit interested editors.
Collect categories, resource links, and templates.
Expand the open task listing above.
Editors willing to "adopt" GA-Class and A-Class articles in order to guide them through peer review and/or FAC are wanted. We've been steadily adding new featured articles and want more. These articles are deemed to be the closest in their current state to reaching featured status, and thus are low(er)-hanging fruits for the picking.

Showcase

The following is a listing of articles (and other types of content) within the scope of the task force that have been noted for their outstanding quality. Members are encouraged to peruse these at their leisure, as they serve as excellent examples of different writing and organizational styles that one may wish to emulate.

Please note that the task force does not necessarily claim any authorship or credit for creating these. While many were written by members—sometimes with extensive input from the task force as a whole—others were created by uninvolved editors, or predate the existence of the project itself, and are listed here merely because they fall within our scope.
