Will it be cheaper if I shoot digitally vs. film? Not always. The key factors for deciding whether to shoot on film or video is 1) how much film are you going to shoot? 2) What will you output to? Creatively, what is the best look? Does your movie have many exterior day scenes? If you are shooting a documentary, you will probably shoot a ton of film or maybe you have a director that shoots a lot of takes. If these are true, then the cost of developing film to your movie budget will be much greater than video which has no cost to develop. But if you plan to shoot a short film or have a director who shoots with great efficiency than the cost to develop the film will be the same as the DI and all of the other treatments to make video look like film. Creatively, if your film is all about beautiful sunsets or the water, then shooting video will not look real as video has a tough time dealing with the brilliant colors and texture of sunlight and water.
