Film

Film is a medium for recording, reproducing, and displaying moving visual images. Traditionally, it consists of a series of photographs or frames that, when projected in rapid succession, create the illusion of motion, exploiting the persistence of vision. Film can be produced using various techniques, including shooting with a camera that captures live action or using animation to create moving images through drawn, painted, or computer-generated techniques.

Films are often categorized by genre, such as drama, comedy, action, horror, and documentary, among others. They can be displayed in theaters, on television, or through digital streaming platforms. As an art form, film combines elements of storytelling, visual artistry, sound, and performance to evoke emotions and convey messages to audiences. Over time, film has evolved significantly with advancements in technology, including the transition from analog film to digital formats, which has expanded the ways in which films are produced, distributed, and consumed.
