 Film is a term that encompasses motion
pictures as individual projects, as well as — in
metonymy — the field in general. The origin of the name
comes from the fact that
photographic film (also called
filmstock) has historically been the primary
medium for recording and displaying motion pictures.
Many other terms exist — motion pictures (or just
pictures or "picture"), the silver screen,
photoplays, the cinema, picture shows,
flicks — and commonly movies.
Films are produced by
recording actual people and objects with cameras, or by creating them using
animation techniques and/or
special effects. They comprise a series of individual
frames, but when these images are shown rapidly in
succession, the illusion of motion is given to the viewer.
Flickering between frames is not seen due to an effect known
as
persistence of vision — whereby the eye retains a visual
image for a fraction of a second after the source has been
removed. Also of relevance is what causes the perception of
motion; a psychological effect identified as
beta movement.
Film is considered by many to be an important
art
form; films entertain, educate, enlighten and inspire
audiences. The visual elements of cinema need no
translation, giving the motion picture a universal power of
communication. Any film can become a worldwide attraction,
especially with the addition of
dubbing or subtitles that translate the dialogue. Films are also
artifacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those
cultures, and, in turn, affect them.
