Introduction to the film:

1. Movies, also known as moving pictures or dynamic pictures, namely "reflection pictures", are visual art forms of works, which use moving images to express ideas, stories, cognition, emotions, values, or various atmospheric simulation experiences. These images are usually accompanied by sound, and there are few other sensory stimuli. ?

2. The word "film" is the abbreviation of cinematography, which is usually used to refer to film production and film industry, and the resulting art forms.

3. Movies' moving images use traditional painting or micro-animation technology, CGI and computer animation, or a combination of some or all of these technologies, and other visual effects to create a camera to shoot moving pictures with actual scenes.

Traditionally, movies are recorded on celluloid film through photochemical process, and then projected on the big screen through movie projector. Contemporary films are usually completely digitized in the whole process of production, distribution and screening, while films recorded in photochemical form traditionally include similar optical soundtracks.

5. Movies are the specific creative culture of cultural relics. They reflect these cultures and in turn influence them. Film is regarded as an important art form, a source of mass entertainment and a powerful medium for educating or inculcating citizens.
