A movie, also called a film, is a series of pictures shown on a screen with sound that tells a story. It can make people laugh, cry, or feel afraid. People watch movies to have fun and learn something new. Movies can be made from real life events or stories, or they can be fantasy.
A good movie has a good plot (what the movie is about). It has characters that you care about, and it has a happy or sad ending. There are also special effects that make the movie exciting and interesting.
The movie can be a comedy, a drama, or a thriller. A comedy is a funny story about people or things that happen in everyday life. A drama is a serious story about real-life situations that may make you cry. A thriller is a suspenseful story with lots of surprises.
Movies are made by people who are actors or directors. They take pictures of people and places and then put them together to make a story. They add music and sound effects. Then they put the finished movie on film reels. They send the reels to movie theaters, where people watch them with a projector that shines a bright light through the film.
Some movies have a lot of money to make them look real. They are called blockbuster movies. Independent movies have less money, but they can be very creative and unusual. They often have sad endings, which is why they do not appeal to big studios.
A good movie must have good acting. Actors should act like their characters, and they must be able to show emotions. They should also be able to speak clearly and understand the script. A good actor can help you forget that they are watching a movie and just enjoy the story.
Another important thing is the movie’s setting. Does the setting match the story? For example, if a movie is about an accident that happened in a hospital, the setting should be a hospital.
The movie’s cinematography (how the pictures are shot) is important too. You should pay attention to camera work, lighting, photography, and framing. You should also look at the colors of the shots and how they match the theme of the movie. You should also pay attention to the way the director uses symbols in the movie.
Other things to consider are the soundtrack and how it works with the rest of the movie. Also, pay attention to the costumes and props. If they are not believable, it can make the movie seem silly or fake. You should also pay attention to the editing of the movie, which is how the scenes are arranged to fit the story.
