Document Summary

By photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques; By means of cgi and computer animation; Or by a combination of some or all of these techniques and other visual effects. The contemporary definition of cinema is the art of simulating experiences that communicate ideas by the means of moving images. The process of filmmaking is both an art and an industry: films were originally recorded onto plastic film which was shown through a movie projector onto a large screen. The adoption of cgi-based special effects led to the use of digital intermediates. Most contemporary films are now fully digital through the entire process of production, distribution, and exhibition from start to finish. Films recorded in analog form traditionally included an optical soundtrack (graphic recording of all the audio that is to accompany the images). It runs along a portion of the film exclusively reserved for it and is not projected.
