There are various types of films which are usually grouped based on how they tell the story, fiction or non-fiction. Several types:
1. Documentary film
This film is a film that documents real, non-fiction events. Usually related to people, figures, events or locations that really exist without being made up. The topics raised usually raise issues that are currently happening, for example to provide news, knowledge, education, social politics, or someone's biography. Some examples of documentary films:
a. Ala Bajo Scholarship (Southeast Sulawesi)
b. Magical Fairy Tales (Jakarta)
c. Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (USA, 2011)
d. This Is It (Kenny Ortega, USA, 2009)

2. Fiction films
This film usually has more fans than documentary films because the story that is built is usually made as interesting as possible. This film contains the cause and effect of an event, the motivation of the main players, antagonists, protagonists, detailed camera settings, and so on.

In the manufacturing process there are usually 3 stages:
a. Pre production
