'''Film orientation''' refers to the orientation in which a film element is wound onto a reel, the fashion in which a film element was manufactured, and the ways innate characteristics of a film element can serve as referential waypoints during inspection and projection. Making heads or tails of film orientation can be a topsy-turvy endeavor, but is crucial to ensuring proper winds, investigation of newly incurred damages, and accurately citing locations throughout a film element.

Making heads or tails of film orientation can be a topsy-turvy endeavor, but is crucial to ensuring proper winds, investigation of past or newly incurred damages, and accurately citing locations throughout a film element.

This involves using a film element's frames, markings, and even the innate characteristics of film elements as points of reference. Common points of reference are reel labels, lab leader, title cards, and the soundtrack. While most rules and descriptions of film orientation are universal to every gauge and format, each does have its own caveats and characteristics, which will be noted throughout this article whenever applicable.
