Concept in Definition ABC

A movie is a artwork made through the succession of images on video and with sound. The movie theater, or the art of making films of various kinds, is considered one of the seven arts and is today one of the most popular as it reaches a significant and clearly varied audience. Films have certain general characteristics that, however, may vary from case to case.

The making of a film is in charge of a director, the person with the greatest hierarchy when making decisions about the elaboration specific to the work. At the same time, the film has a story expressed in the form of a script. This script is acted by the actors and actresses who embody the characters. Once such work is done, the images are edited. The last step in the whole process has to do with advertising and promotion of the film before it is shown in cinemas and theaters.

A film is structured based on the sequence of images that are placed one after the other and that, projected continuously, simulate

movement. This sequence must be greater than that of 18 pictograms (or small images) since otherwise the projection sequence would appear to the human eye as a cut-out and non-continuous process.

Regardless of the technical issues, a film is always considered a work of art that requires a great effort of production. While the performance or the direction of the same are always the elements that stand out the most, issues such as the costumes, the musicalization, the Photography, creating appropriate environments, editing, sound, use of special effects, etc.

Films, once finished, are usually shown in cinemas or theaters attended by large numbers of audiences. This is where the commercial part comes in since in many cases a film can be considered a good film according to the number of viewers it has. They, as well as the profound phenomenon of merchandising, are what allow large film companies to recover their investment and spend it in many millions of dollars of gain.
