Outdated terminology

Can we come up with another name for "film"? And while we're at it, let's add "filmmaking" and "filmmaker" to the list. And all those job titles which seem to say more about the specialization of the film industry - writer, director, editor, cinematographer, sound designer, and on and on - let's rethink those too.

There's such a huge gap beween how movies (and television, documentaries, music videos, short films, etc.) have been made up until now, and how they can be made, that much of this terminology feels stale and outdated.

Don't get me wrong. As long as they have any say, the film industry's not going anywhere.

But as for this next generation of artists using moving images and sound as their raw materials, until we come up with something better, all of these titles and terms are, at best, approximations.
