Movie, or film, is a story that combines a sound track with images to create a dramatic entertainment experience. There are many different kinds of movies, including action, adventure, horror and romance. Some people like to watch movies to be entertained, to laugh or to scare themselves, while others enjoy watching movies to learn about history, science, culture or social issues.
A movie tells a story about events or characters that happen in real life. Usually, a movie has an exciting plot and a happy ending. However, some movies have a sad ending or an unexpected plot twist. Some movies have a lot of blood and violence, while others are more family friendly and have no violent scenes. Some movies are based on true stories, while others are fantasy or science fiction.
To make a movie, actors (people who act in the movie) read a script and practice their lines. Then a director (a person who directs the movie) tells them what to do and a cameraman films them doing it. When the movie is done, a film editor puts all the pieces of the movie together and an audio engineer records music or voice overs to go with the movie. Then a copy of the film is made on a reel and sent to movie theaters for people to watch on a screen with a projector.
The best movies are a combination of all the parts of the movie making process. They have a great story, good acting and interesting or important settings and locations. They also have great cinematography (how the pictures look) and music or sound effects. They are also well edited so that the movie flows well.
Sometimes, a movie has a special message that can change your life for the better. For example, “Back to the Future” tells us to stay positive and keep trying, even if you get knocked down and pushed around, because it’s important to believe in yourself and work hard. Multiple characters in the movie, such as Marty McFly and his father George and Doc Brown, learn this lesson.
Other times, a movie is so enjoyable that you want to share it with other people. This is a type of movie that is often called a cult or independent film. It is a low-budget film that is not made by a major studio and does not get much publicity. These movies often become popular ‘underground’ (through word of mouth). They may have very strange themes or be controversial. The Blair Witch Project is an example of this type of film. These movies are usually not very long and are inexpensive to produce. Sometimes they have a very large audience, and other times they are very small. They are often seen at festivals or on the internet before they become mainstream. The movies that are the most famous are called blockbuster movies. They make a lot of money and are very big hits.
