Monty Python did a gag basedon this difference.
I'm having trouble remembering the particulars, but as I recall it
starts with a bunch of men in some sort of a meeting inside (shot in
video). One of them--Eric Idle or Michael Palin, I believe--looks
outside the door. Cut to exterior shot (in FILM) of him looking out the
door. He yelps. Cut back to interior (in video): he spreads the alarm
to the rest of the group that "it's FILM out there!"
Pandemonium ensues.
