1. Price
One of the main differences between film and video is that Film is very expensive, video is not. Film costs around £2 per 24 stills, or 1 second worth of filming. £2 for one second, imagine the cost of a full film, you do the math. Unless you have more money than sense or some investors with a crazily good belief in your directing skills.
2. Image quality
Other than just cost you have the image quality. The largest difference is in how each medium captures and displays imagery. Film simply captures light, creating lines of depth and colour, meaning it looks soft and smooth, even when projected at large sizes. Digital video however has a native resolution and is made of pixels, so it is much sharper than film, with a more rigid appearance. A pixel (picture element) is a small part of the picture containing just one colour. Obviously this means the greater the number of pixels, the higher the quality of the image.
3. Film Rate
When film is run, it films at 24fps (frames per second), in other how many still images appear on the screen every second. in contrast, video runs at 29.97 for NTSC and s4fps for PAL.
