Where are the different project types / categories explained?

I’m new to UE and am confounded by the different project types when you first create a new project. I’d like very much to understand what is happening under the hood when I choose “Games” vs “Film / Video & Live Events”.

Is there any documentation that explains this, because I’ve been searching for an hour. I don’t want to start off on the wrong foot by choosing the incorrect project type, especially if my use case isn’t immediately obvious or doesn’t fall cleanly into any category.
