A movie is a form of entertainment that includes dialogue, characters and images filmed on video or film. There are many different genres of movies. For example, a drama is about people who have real-life problems, a comedy is about funny or absurd situations and a romance is about a couple in love.
When a movie is made, it is put together by an editor and a sound engineer. Then it is put on reels to be shown in a theater with a projector that shines light through the film. Movies can also be called films or videos, but the word movie is most often used.
Movies are usually rated by a rating system. They can be PG, PG-13, R or NC-17. Movies that are rated NC-17 usually have some sexual activity, violence or language that is more mature than a movie that is PG-13.
If you are writing a movie review, you need to analyze the film to write your opinion of it. For this, you should watch the movie several times and take notes. Use the pause button frequently and rewind as needed. This will help you to understand the film better.
Some important things to consider when analyzing a movie are the content, direction and cinematography. The content of a movie is what it is about and how it makes you feel. For example, a romantic movie might make you feel happy and hopeful. While a horror movie might make you scared and anxious. Direction refers to how the director of a movie portrayed and explained the story. For example, did the director use a lot of close-ups or long shots?
