Film is for big movie screens. Video is for TV. Digital is for still cameras lol.

Still confused. Actually, state-of-the-art television is "digital." Likewise, High Definition Television (HDTV) is a digital format. Most of our home TV receivers are still analog. So, even if the program is shot by digital cameras and recorded on digital video tape recorders, it is still converted and transmitted in analog. Unless you're watching it in HDTV.
Confused? You and the rest of the country.
Non broadcast industry people tend to use the term "filmed" universally when something (moving picture and sound) is recorded.
To be really filmed, the show has to be shot on a medium which is chemically processed, and then either physically "cut" during the edit, or "transferred" to video tape and edited electronically. That can't be done live.
Parts of the last, and most of the next StarWars movie were/will be shot on High Definition video tape, and then either transferred to film or shown on digital video tape in movie houses.
What makes it even harder to understand is that TV cameras can now be "shaded" to have a "film look," and can even shoot in 24 frames per second (which is the traditional film standard) or 30 frames (which is the traditional TV standard).
My suspicion is that the performance was digitally altered during the actual production -- which can be done either live (as in this case) or in post production.
Anyway, that's why I'm confused.
