motion picture film

Motion picture film is a medium used to capture and display moving images. It consists of a strip of flexible plastic coated with light-sensitive chemicals that record images when exposed to light. After filming, the film is developed, creating a sequence of still images. When projected rapidly in order, these images create the illusion of motion. Traditionally, film was 35mm wide, but various formats exist. While digital technology now dominates, film still holds artistic value and is celebrated for its unique aesthetic qualities. It remains essential in many filmmaking processes and is enjoyed worldwide in cinemas.
