Movie



A movie (from the Latin: pellicula, short for pellis, "skin") is a series of still images that, when projected onto a screen consecutively in rapid succession, create the optical illusion of moving images. The term is usually used as a synonym for cinematographic work, 1 that is, a story (fictional or documentary), recorded on a medium (flexible film or digital container) that is recorded and read by means of a continuous or intermittent mechanism of succession of images. These cinematographic films are also called film2 or film, as well as the abbreviation film. The filming process. A movie can be created by photographing actual scenes with a motion picture camera, by photographing miniature drawings or models using traditional animation techniques, by means of computer generated imagery or computer animation, or by a combination of some or all of these techniques. and other visual effects. Movies were originally recorded on plastic film through a photochemical process and then displayed through a movie projector on a large screen. Contemporary films are now often fully digital throughout the entire production, distribution, and screening process. Photochemically recorded films traditionally included an optical analog soundtrack (a graphic recording of spoken words, music and other sounds, accompanying the images and running through a part of the film reserved exclusively for them, which not projected). The individual images that make up a movie are called frames. In the projection of traditional celluloid films, a rotating shutter causes intervals of darkness between each frame, which in turn is positioned to be projected. The viewer does not notice the interruptions due to an effect known as persistence of vision, in which the eye retains a visual image for a fraction of a second after its source disappears. The perception of movement is due to a psychological effect called the phi phenomenon. The name "film" originates from the fact that photographic film (also called motion picture film) has historically been the medium for recording and displaying moving images.
