From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A film, also called a movie or motion picture, is a story conveyed with moving images. It is produced by recording photographic images with cameras, or by creating images using animation techniques or visual effects. The process of filmmaking has developed into an art form and industry. Films are cultural artifacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and, in turn, affect them. Film is considered to be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment and a powerful method for educating — or indoctrinating — citizens. The visual elements of cinema give motion pictures a universal power of communication. Some films have become popular worldwide attractions by using dubbing or subtitles that translate the dialogue. Films are made up of a series of individual images called frames. When these images are shown rapidly in succession, a viewer has the illusion that motion is occurring. The viewer cannot see the flickering between frames 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. Viewers perceive motion due to a psychological effect called beta movement. The origin of the name "film" comes from the fact that photographic film (also called film stock) has historically been the primary medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion picture, including picture, picture show, moving picture, photo-play and flick. A common name for film in the United States is movie, while in Europe the term cinema or film is preferred. Additional terms for the field in general include the big screen, the silver screen, the cinema and the movies. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I read somewhere that "A film school degree will not necessarily secure you a place in the Hollywood film industry. However, an MFA film degree will definitely be able to help you." How do you get a MFA film degree? Asked by walz - Sat Oct 24 14:37:58 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I hate to break it to you but even an MFA would not help you out in Hollywood. Actually a lot of producers, directors, and actors have never even gone to film school. Your best bet is to start working in the industry and then to just keep pushing. Getting a film degree would be a huge waste of time. Answered by Nyx - Sat Oct 24 14:50:45 2009 What exactly do film critics mean when they say is a film is badly directed? Q. How is it possible for people to actually tell when a film is badly directed.Its quite easy to tell when a film is badly written or badly acted, but what are the signs of bad direction? Asked by black_fimo - Fri Jan 30 13:38:42 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. They mean that they think it was badly directed. In the structure of movie making the director is the team captain. Bad acting is often as much the blame of the director as the actor. Same with bad writing. Sometimes it isn't the words that are bad but how the director tells the actor to perform them. And sometimes the directing isn't bad so much as not a style the review likes. So the answer is that it is often subjective and there isn't a checklist of signs to follow. An example to finish off. The first two Harry Potter movies were directed by Chris Columbus, who is known for working well with young and often unexperienced child actors. He directs kids by doing what's called "line reading", in other words, he just tells them how to… [cont.] Answered by jayne r - Fri Jan 30 13:48:30 2009 Which film is safe to bring through the airport?
Q. Hi, I'm leaving for a research trip in 2 weeks. My research is both anthropological and photographical. I am planning on bringing about 15 rolls of film with me. My fear is whether or not the unexposed film will be damaged by airport security tools. The problem with buying film there is that I will be going to a pretty rural area in a 3rd world country and I'm pretty positive that I won't be able to find a camera shop where I can buy film down there. What's best? Asked by Sara R - Tue May 4 15:18:37 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Buy a film protector bag and put all your film in it. Carry it on-board with your cameras and notebook computer. Never let them out of your sight. If necessary, let the security hand check the film and leave the film in its packaging. Do NOT check your film EVER. This is where the most intense X-ray is applied to your baggage. While it is important to protect your film from X-ray, all the time, it is most sensitive to fogging once it is exposed. I use transparency film with speeds from 50 to 400 ISO, negative film from 100 to 800 ISO and black and white film from 25 to 3200 ISO. The choice of film is determined by the assignment from the client and of course the film type and ISO is different on every flight.
