What does functional film mean?

Functional film refers to the special film used to shoot movies, documentaries, TV commercials, etc. The main features of functional films are true color reproduction, high resolution and realistic visual effects, which are suitable for shooting large scenes or details. At present, there are many types of functional membranes to choose from, such as widescreen, standard and HC.

Today, with the development of digital technology, people may prefer digital photography as more convenient and economical. But in fact, functional film still has unique advantages in some aspects: for example, at the image level, the shooting effect of functional film is more natural and vivid, while digital photography often gives people a feeling of being too dull and too discolored. In addition, functional films are one of the necessary tools for shooting high-quality films and documentaries.

Although functional film has been gradually replaced by digital technology, there are still a group of film and television professionals who insist on using it and think it is an absolutely valuable shooting tool. For the audience who love movies and documentaries, these unique functional films have become an unrepeatable cultural and aesthetic heritage, representing the inheritance and innovation of film and television art ideas. Therefore, functional film is not only a shooting tool, but also a symbol of film and television art, leaving a strong impression in the film history.
