Film refers to a medium used for recording, preserving, and displaying moving images and sound. It can also denote the artistic and commercial production of movies and documentaries. Traditionally, film was created using a strip of flexible material coated with light-sensitive chemicals, which captures images through a process of exposure to light. The term also encompasses the finished product, meaning a completed movie that is shown in theaters or distributed through various platforms.
Film can serve multiple purposes, including entertainment, storytelling, education, and artistic expression. It utilizes various genres, techniques, and styles to convey narratives and evoke emotions. In the broader context, “film” may also involve the study of cinema as an art form and industry, including analysis of film theory, history, and criticism. In contemporary usage, the term can include works produced digitally, with the distinction between film and digital becoming increasingly blurred in the modern era.
