DEFINITION Movies, also known as films, are a type of visual communication which use moving pictures and sound to tell stories or inform. People in every part of the world watch movies as a type of entertainment, a way to have fun. Fun for some people can mean laughing, while for others it can mean crying, or feeling afraid. Most movies are made so that they can be shown on big screens at cinemas or movie theatres. HOW MOVIES WORK A video camera takes pictures very quickly, usually at 25 pictures every second. When a movie projector, a computer, or a television shows the pictures at that rate, it looks like the things shown in the set of pictures are really moving. Sound is either recorded at the same time, or added later. The sounds in a movie usually include the sounds of people talking (dialogue), music (soundtrack), and sound effects, the sounds of activities that are happening in the movie.

HOW MOVIES ARE MADE Then the director tells the actors what to do and a cameraman takes motion pictures of them with a motion picture camera. A screenwriter writes a script. Then a producer hires people to work on the movie and gets all of the money that will be needed to pay for the actors and the equipment. Actors and directors read scripts to find out what to say and what to do. Then the director tells the actors what to do and a cameraman takes motion pictures of them with a motion picture camera. When filming has finished, an editor puts the moving pictures together. Audio engineers and sound engineers record music and singing and join it with the moving pictures. When the movie is done, many copies of the movie are made and put onto movie reels. Then the movie reels are sent to cinemas. A projector shines a very bright light through the movie, and people sitting in a dark room see it on a big screen. When filming has finished, an editor puts the moving pictures together.
