Movies, a new world of reality and fantasies
Movies have now become a source of entertainment for both the youth and the older generation. They have now evolved from what they used to be, i.e. from short stories to unimagined fantasies with animation. They started in 1860s with just some two dimensional drawings. They are also widely known as motion pictures or films now days. Earlier when there were no films, people used to entertain themselves by watching live plays and dramas, but now the times have changed. Motion pictures as the name suggests generally consists of pictures played very fast to create an illusion of moving object, people and animals. These pictures are known as frames technically. This is achieved through sophisticated technology based cameras, video recorders, projectors and other computer hardware and software. Special effects with 3D surround sound and excellent picture quality are some things which can be seen in almost every movie produced these days. The main motive of a movie is generally to entertain people, but it is also used for educating rural masses and illiterate people, i.e. those who cannot read or write languages.
Every movie made has a certain story line which may be abstract or based on a real life incident or someones biography. Movies can be classified into different categories like comedy films, romantic films, adventurous and thriller films, animated films just to name a few. These motion pictures are generally broadcasted on TV channels, or distributed by CDs and DVDs or via internet. The movie industry first started in developed nations now, and it is now known as Hollywood. For, developing nations like our very own country it is called Hollywood. Before a film is produced, people are shown trailers, previews and are given a brief idea about the storyline. This is what increases the popularity of a movie. A movie is generally produced in the following cycles and stages i.e. Development stage, Pre-production stage, Production stage, Post-Production stage, Distribution stage. People from different fields work all together to make a successful movie. These people generally consist of Film crew which includes actors, actress and other people, casting crew, makeup team, directing team, choreographing team and many others.
Now lets understand films from a business point of view. Before a film is actually produced, its budget and storyline is first decided. After this the respective actors, actress and other members are selected for the drama. This may not be applicable for animated films. Also, they are selected based on the type of audience the film is being made for. Now, as already mentioned different teams work together to make the movie successful at different stages like advertising, publicity, making of songs and trailers. The movie before being finally broadcasted or shown to public is first passed through the censorship board where it is given a certificate based on the content. The certificate given to films decides its viewership age limit. Films although good have received many criticisms from many people due to their aggressive and motivating content which may lead to people committing crimes or doing any other unsocial activity.
