Motion pictures

Motion pictures are one of the most popular forms of entertainment, enabling people to immerse themselves in an imaginary world for a short period of time. But movies can also teach people history, science, human behavior, and many other subjects. Some films combine entertainment with instruction, to make the learning process more enjoyable. In all its forms, cinema is Art as well as Business, and those who make motion pictures take great pride in their creations.

The images that make up a motion picture are all individual photographs. But when they appear rapidly in succession, the human eye does not detect that they are separate images.

Motion pictures are recorded with the help of specially designed cameras that capture the images on rolls of film. After being processed and printed, the film is run through a projector, which shines light through the film so that the images are displayed on the screen. Most movies have accompanying sound.

Many different people contribute their skills and talents to the making of a film. The stars and other actors who appear on the screen are only part of the story; most of those who work at the production do not appear on camera. The most prominent roles behind the scenes are the producer, screenwriter, director, casting director, director of photography, designers, assistant directors, film and sound editors, and music composer.
