Movie, or film, is a type of art that uses images and sounds to tell stories. It can be fiction or nonfictional and is usually entertaining. People like to watch movies because they are interesting and can help them forget about their problems for a while.
Movies have different genres, or types, such as dramas, comedies, horror, science fiction, and sports. These genres usually have a plot that is about a certain topic, such as love or crime. Movies can also be about real events or history, but they usually make up a story to keep people interested.
To make a movie, actors, or actresses, read scripts and act out the words that are on the screen. A cameraman records the actors with a film camera. Then, an editor makes the scenes of the movie play after each other, which is how the movie tells a story. An audio engineer records music and sound effects and mixes them with the movie. The movie is then made into copies that are put on film reels and sent to theaters. When a projector shines light through the film, people sitting in a dark room can see it on a big screen.
Movies can be about anything, but most movies have a main character who has to overcome something. For example, a drama might be about a woman who has to get her husband back after he is killed in the war. Comedies often have a hero who is funny, and horror movies have scary things happen to the hero.
