Film is a term that encompasses individual Supersize Me Movie motion pictures, the field of film as an art form, and the motion picture industry. Films are Supersize Me Movie produced by recording Supersize Me Movie images from the world with cameras, or by creating images using animation techniques or special effects.
Films are cultural artifacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and, in turn, affect them. Film is considered to Supersize Me Movie be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment and a powerful method for educating � or Supersize Me Movie indoctrinating � Supersize Me Movie citizens. The visual elements of cinema gives motion pictures a universal power of communication. Some films have become Supersize Me Movie popular worldwide attractions by using dubbing or subtitles that translate the dialogue.
Traditional films are made up of a series of individual images Supersize Me Movie called frames. When these images are Supersize Me Movie shown rapidly in Supersize Me Movie succession, a viewer has Supersize Me Movie the Supersize Me Movie illusion that motion is occurring. The viewer cannot see the flickering between frames due to an Supersize Me Movie effect known as Supersize Me Movie persistence of vision, whereby the eye Supersize Me Movie retains a
The origin of the name "film" comes from the fact that photographic film Supersize Me Movie (also Supersize Me Movie called film Supersize Me Movie stock) had historically been the primary medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion picture, including picture, picture show, photo-play, flick, and most commonly, movie. Additional terms for Supersize Me Movie the field in general include the big screen, the silver screen, the cinema, and the movies.In the 1860s, mechanisms for producing artificially created, two-dimensional images in motion were demonstrated Supersize Me Movie with Supersize Me Movie devices such as the zoetrope and the praxinoscope. These machines were outgrowths of Supersize Me Movie simple optical devices (such as magic Supersize Me Movie lanterns) and Supersize Me Movie would display sequences of Supersize Me Movie still pictures at sufficient speed for the images on the pictures to appear to be moving, a phenomenon called persistence of vision. Naturally, the images needed to be carefully designed to achieve Supersize Me Movie the Supersize Me Movie desired effect Supersize Me Movie � and the underlying principle became Supersize Me Movie the basis for the development of film animation.

With the development of celluloid film for still photography, it became possible Supersize Me Movie to directly capture objects Supersize Me Movie in motion in real time. Early versions of the technology sometimes required a person to Supersize Me Movie look Supersize Me Movie into a viewing machine to see the pictures which were separate paper prints attached to a drum turned by a handcrank. The pictures were shown at a variable speed of about 5 to 10 pictures Supersize Me Movie per Supersize Me Movie second depending on how Supersize Me Movie rapidly the crank was turned. Some of these machines were coin operated. Supersize Me Movie By the 1880s, the development of Supersize Me Movie the motion picture camera allowed the individual component images to be Supersize Me Movie captured and stored on a single reel, and led quickly to the development of a motion picture projector to shine light through the processed and printed film and magnify these "moving picture shows" onto a screen Supersize Me Movie for an entire audience. Supersize Me Movie These reels, so exhibited, came to be known as "motion pictures". Early motion pictures were Supersize Me Movie static shots that showed an event or action Supersize Me Movie with no editing or other cinematic techniques.
Ignoring Dickson's early sound experiments (1894), commercial motion Supersize Me Movie pictures were purely visual art through the late 19th century, but these innovative silent films had gained a hold on the public Supersize Me Movie imagination. Around the turn of the twentieth century, films began developing a narrative structure by stringing scenes together to tell narratives. The scenes were later broken up into multiple shots Supersize Me Movie of varying sizes and angles. Other techniques Supersize Me Movie such as camera movement were Supersize Me Movie realized as effective ways to portray a story on film. Rather than leave the audience in Supersize Me Movie silence, theater owners Supersize Me Movie would hire a pianist or organist or a full orchestra to Supersize Me Movie play music fitting the mood of the film at any given moment. By the early 1920s, most films came with a prepared list of sheet music for this purpose, with complete film scores being composed for major productions.

The rise of European Supersize Me Movie cinema was interrupted by the breakout of World War I while the film industry in United States flourished with the rise of Hollywood. However in the 1920s, Supersize Me Movie European Supersize Me Movie filmmakers such as Sergei Eisenstein, F. W. Murnau, and Fritz Lang, along with Supersize Me Movie American Supersize Me Movie innovator D. W. Griffith and Supersize Me Movie the contributions of Charles Chaplin, Supersize Me Movie Buster Keaton and others, continued to advance the medium. In the 1920s, new technology allowed filmmakers to attach to each film a soundtrack of speech, music and sound effects synchronized with the action on the screen. Supersize Me Movie These sound films were initially distinguished by calling Supersize Me Movie them "talking pictures", or talkies.
The next major step in the development of cinema was the introduction of so-called "natural" color. While the Supersize Me Movie addition of sound quickly eclipsed silent Supersize Me Movie film Supersize Me Movie and theater Supersize Me Movie musicians, color was adopted more gradually as methods evolved making it more practical and cost effective to produce Supersize Me Movie "natural color" films. The public was relatively indifferent to color photography as opposed to black-and-white,[citation needed] but as color processes improved and became as affordable Supersize Me Movie as black-and-white film, more Supersize Me Movie and more movies were filmed in color after Supersize Me Movie the Supersize Me Movie end of World War II, Supersize Me Movie as the industry Supersize Me Movie in America came to view color as essential to attracting audiences in its competition with Supersize Me Movie television, which remained a black-and-white medium until the mid-1960s. By the end of the 1960s, col
Since the decline of the studio system in the 1960s, the succeeding decades saw changes in the production and style of film. New Hollywood, French New Wave and the rise of Supersize Me Movie film Supersize Me Movie school educated independent filmmakers were all part of the changes the medium experienced in the latter half of the 20th century. Digital technology has been the driving force in change throughout the 1990s and into Supersize Me Movie the 21st century.
Theory
Main article: Film theory
Film theory seeks to develop concise and systematic concepts that apply to the study of Supersize Me Movie film as art. It was started by Ricciotto Canudo's The Birth of Supersize Me Movie the Sixth Art. Formalist Supersize Me Movie film theory, led Supersize Me Movie by Rudolf Arnheim, Bela Balazs, and Siegfried Kracauer, emphasized how film differed from reality, and thus could be considered a valid fine art. Andre Bazin reacted Supersize Me Movie against this theory by arguing that film's artistic essence lay in its ability to mechanically reproduce reality not in Supersize Me Movie its differences from reality, and this gave rise to realist Supersize Me Movie theory. More recent analysis spurred by Lacan's psychoanalysis and Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotics among other things Supersize Me Movie has given rise to Supersize Me Movie psychoanalytical film theory, structuralist film theory, feminist film theory and Supersize Me Movie others.
Criticism
Main article: Film criticism
Film criticism is the analysis and evaluation of Supersize Me Movie films. In general, these works can be divided into two categories: academic criticism by Supersize Me Movie film scholars and journalistic film criticism that Supersize Me Movie appears regularly in newspapers and other Supersize Me Movie media.
Film critics working for newspapers, magazines, and broadcast media mainly review Supersize Me Movie new releases. Normally they only see any given film once and have only a day or two to formulate opinions. Despite this, critics have an important impact on films, especially those of certain genres. Mass marketed action, horror, and Supersize Me Movie comedy films tend not to be greatly affected by a critic's overall judgment of a film. The plot summary and description of Supersize Me Movie a film that makes up the majority of Supersize Me Movie any film review can still Supersize Me Movie have an important impact on whether people decide Supersize Me Movie to see a film. For prestige films such as most dramas, the Supersize Me Movie influence of reviews is extremely important. Poor reviews will often doom a film to obscurity and financial loss.

The impact of a reviewer on a given film's box office Supersize Me Movie performance is a matter of debate. Some claim that movie marketing is now so intense and well financed that reviewers cannot make an impact against it. Supersize Me Movie However, the cataclysmic failure of some heavily-promoted movies which were harshly reviewed, as well as the unexpected success of critically praised Supersize Me Movie independent movies indicates that extreme critical reactions can have considerable influence. Others note that positive film reviews have been shown to spark interest in little-known films. Conversely, there have been several films in which film companies have so little confidence that they refuse to give reviewers an advanced viewing to avoid widespread panning of P2p Movie Sharing the Supersize Me Movie film. Supersize Me Movie However, this usually backfires as reviewers are wise to the tactic and Supersize Me Movie warn the public that Movie Theaters In Buford Georgia the film may not Supersize Me Movie be worth seeing and the Supersize Me Movie films often do poorly as Supersize Me Movie a result.
It is argued that journalist Supersize Me Movie film critics should only be known as film reviewers, and true film critics are Supersize Me Movie those who take a more academic Supersize Me Movie approach to films. This line of work is more often known as film theory or film studies. These film critics attempt to come to Supersize Me Movie understand how film and filming techniques work, and what effect Supersize Me Movie they have on people. Rather than having their works published in newspapers or appear on television, their articles are published in scholarly Supersize Me Movie journals, or sometimes in up-market magazines. They also Elf Movie Clip tend to be affiliated with colleges or universities.
Industry
Main article: Film industry
The making and showing of motion pictures became a source of profit almost as soon as the process Supersize Me Movie was invented. Supersize Me Movie Upon seeing how successful their new invention, and its product, was in their native France, the Lumieres quickly set about Supersize Me Movie touring the Continent to exhibit the first films privately to royalty and publicly to the masses. In each country, they would Supersize Me Movie normally add new, local scenes to their catalogue and, quickly enough, found local entrepreneurs in the various countries of Europe to buy their equipment and photograph, export, import and screen additional product commercially. The Oberammergau Passion Play of 1898[citation needed] was the first commercial motion picture ever produced. Other pictures soon followed, and motion Supersize Me Movie pictures became a separate industry that overshadowed the Supersize Me Movie vaudeville Supersize Me Movie world. Dedicated theaters and companies formed specifically to produce and distribute films, while motion Supersize Me Movie picture actors became major celebrities and commanded huge Supersize Me Movie fees for their performances. Supersize Me Movie Already by Supersize Me Movie 1917, Supersize Me Movie Charlie Chaplin had a contract that called for an annual salary of one million dollars.
In the United States today, much of the film industry is centered around Hollywood. Other regional centers exist in Supersize Me Movie many parts of the world, such as Mumbai-centered Bollywood, the Indian film industry's Hindi cinema which produces the largest number of films in the world.[1] Whether the ten thousand-plus feature length films a year Supersize Me Movie produced by the Valley pornographic film industry should qualify for this title is Supersize Me Movie the source of some debate.[citation needed] Though the expense involved in making movies has led cinema Supersize Me Movie production Supersize Me Movie to concentrate under the auspices of movie studios, recent advances in affordable film making equipment have allowed independent film productions to flourish.
Profit is a key force in Supersize Me Movie the industry, due Supersize Me Movie to the costly and risky nature of filmmaking; many films have large cost overruns, a notorious example being Supersize Me Movie Kevin Costner's Waterworld. Yet many Supersize Me Movie filmmakers strive to create Supersize Me Movie works of lasting social significance. The Academy Awards (also known as "the Oscars") Supersize Me Movie are the most prominent film awards in the United States, providing recognition each year Supersize Me Movie to films, ostensibly based on their artistic merits.
There is also a large Supersize Me Movie industry for educational and instructional films made in lieu of or in addition to lectures and texts.
Preview
A preview performance refers to a showing of a movie to a select audience, Supersize Me Movie usually for the purposes of corporate promotions, before the Supersize Me Movie public Supersize Me Movie film premiere itself. Previews are sometimes used to judge audience reaction, which if unexpectedly negative, may result in recutting or even refilming certain sections. (cf Audience response.)
Trailer
Main article: Trailer Supersize Me Movie (film)
Trailers or previews are film advertisements for films that will be exhibited in Supersize Me Movie the future at a cinema, on whose screen they are shown. The term "trailer" Supersize Me Movie comes from their having originally been shown at the end of a film programme. That practice did not last long, because patrons tended to leave the Supersize Me Movie theater after the Supersize Me Movie films Supersize Me Movie ended, but the name has stuck. Trailers are now shown before the Supersize Me Movie film (or the A movie in a double feature program) begins.
The nature of the film determines the size and type of crew required during Supersize Me Movie filmmaking. Many Hollywood adventure films need computer generated imagery (CGI), created by dozens of 3D modellers, animators, rotoscopers and compositors. However, a low-budget, independent film may be made with a skeleton crew, often paid very little. Also, an open source film may be produced through open, collaborative processes. Filmmaking takes place all Supersize Me Movie over the world using different Supersize Me Movie technologies, Supersize Me Movie styles of acting and genre, Supersize Me Movie and Supersize Me Movie is produced in a variety Supersize Me Movie of economic contexts that Supersize Me Movie range from state-sponsored documentary in China Supersize Me Movie to profit-oriented Supersize Me Movie movie making within the American studio Supersize Me Movie system.
This production cycle typically Supersize Me Movie takes three years. The first year is Supersize Me Movie taken up with development. The second year comprises preproduction and production. The third year, Supersize Me Movie post-production and distribution.
Crew
Main article: Film crew
A film crew is a group of people hired by a film company, employed during Supersize Me Movie the "production" or "photography" phase, for the purpose of producing a film or motion picture. Crew are distinguished from cast, the actors who appear in front of the Supersize Me Movie camera or provide voices Supersize Me Movie for characters in the film. The crew interacts Supersize Me Movie with but is also distinct from the production staff, consisting of producers, managers, Supersize Me Movie company representatives, their assistants, and those whose primary responsibility falls in Supersize Me Movie pre-production or post-production phases, such as writers and editors. Communication between production and crew generally passes through the Supersize Me Movie director Disney Movie Rewards Club and his/her staff of assistants. Medium-to-large crews are generally Supersize Me Movie divided into departments Supersize Me Movie with well defined hierarchies and Supersize Me Movie standards for interaction and cooperation Supersize Me Movie between the departments. Other than acting, the crew handles everything in the photography phase: props and costumes, shooting, sound, electrics (i.e., Supersize Me Movie lights), sets, and production special effects. Caterers (known in the film industry as Supersize Me Movie "craft services") are usually not considered part of Supersize Me Movie the crew.
Technology
Film stock consists of transparent celluloid, acetate, or polyester base coated with an emulsion containing light-sensitive chemicals. Cellulose nitrate Supersize Me Movie was the Supersize Me Movie first Supersize Me Movie type Supersize Me Movie of film base used to record motion pictures, but due to its flammability was eventually replaced by Supersize Me Movie safer materials. Stock widths and the film format for images on the reel have had a rich history, though most Supersize Me Movie large commercial films are still shot on (and distributed to theaters) as 35 mm prints.

Originally moving Supersize Me Movie picture film was shot and projected at various speeds using hand-cranked cameras and projectors; though 1000 frames per minute (16? frame/s) Supersize Me Movie is generally cited as a standard silent Supersize Me Movie speed, research indicates Supersize Me Movie most films were shot between 16 frame/s and 23 Supersize Me Movie frame/s and projected from 18 frame/s on up (often reels included instructions on how fast each scene Supersize Me Movie should be shown) [1]. When sound film was introduced in the late 1920s, a constant speed was required for the Supersize Me Movie sound head. 24 frames per second was chosen because it was the slowest (and thus cheapest) speed which Supersize Me Movie allowed for sufficient sound quality. Improvements since the late 19th century include the mechanization Supersize Me Movie of cameras � allowing them to record at a consistent speed, quiet camera design � allowing sound recorded on-set to be usable without requiring large "blimps" to Supersize Me Movie encase the camera, the invention Supersize Me Movie of more sophisticated filmstocks and lenses, allowing directors to film in increasingly Supersize Me Movie dim conditions, and the development of synchronized sound, allowing sound to be recorded at exactly the same speed as its corresponding Supersize Me Movie action. The soundtrack can be recorded separately from shooting the film, but for live-action pictures Supersize Me Movie many parts of the soundtrack are usually recorded simultaneously.
As a medium, film is not limited to motion pictures, since the technology developed Supersize Me Movie as the basis for photography. It can be used to present Supersize Me Movie a progressive sequence of still images in the form of a slideshow. Film has also been incorporated What Women Want Movie into multimedia presentations, and often has importance as primary historical Supersize Me Movie documentation. However, historic films Supersize Me Movie have problems in terms Supersize Me Movie of preservation and storage, and the motion picture industry is exploring many alternatives. Most movies on cellulose nitrate base have been copied Supersize Me Movie onto modern safety films. Supersize Me Movie Some studios save color films through the use of Supersize Me Movie separation masters � Supersize Me Movie three B&W negatives each exposed through red, green, or blue filters (essentially a reverse of the Supersize Me Movie Technicolor process). Digital methods have also been Supersize Me Movie used to restore films, although their continued obsolescence cycle makes them (as of 2006) a poor choice for long-term preservation. Film preservation of decaying film stock Supersize Me Movie is a matter of concern to both Supersize Me Movie film historians Supersize Me Movie and archivists, and to companies interested in preserving their existing products in order to make them available to future generations (and Supersize Me Movie thereby increase revenue). Preservation is generally a higher-concern for nitrate and single-strip color films, due to their high decay rates; black and white films on safety bases and color films Supersize Me Movie preserved on Technicolor imbibition prints tend to keep up much better, assuming proper handling and storage.
Some films in recent decades have been Supersize Me Movie recorded using analog video technology similar to that used in television production. Modern digital video cameras and digital projectors are gaining ground as well. These approaches are extremely beneficial Supersize Me Movie to moviemakers, especially because footage can be evaluated and edited without waiting The Burning Movie for the film stock to be processed. Yet the Supersize Me Movie migration is gradual, and as of Reno Air Race Movie 2005 most major motion pictures Supersize Me Movie are still recorded Supersize Me Movie on film.
Independent

The Lumiere Brothers
Independent filmmaking often takes place outside of Hollywood, or other major studio systems. An independent film (or indie film) is a film Supersize Me Movie initially produced without Supersize Me Movie financing or Supersize Me Movie distribution from a major movie studio. Creative, Supersize Me Movie business, and technological reasons have Supersize Me Movie all contributed to the growth of the indie film scene in the late Supersize Me Movie 20th and early 21st century.
On the business side, the costs of big-budget studio films also leads to conservative choices in Supersize Me Movie cast Supersize Me Movie and crew. Supersize Me Movie There is a trend Supersize Me Movie in Hollywood towards co-financing (over two-thirds of the films put out by Warner Bros. in 2000 were joint ventures, up from Supersize Me Movie 10% in 1987).[2] A hopeful director Where Can I Watch Movie Clips is almost never given the opportunity to get a Supersize Me Movie job on a big-budget studio film unless he or she has significant industry experience in film or television. Also, Supersize Me Movie the studios rarely produce Supersize Me Movie films with unknown actors, particularly in lead roles.
Before the advent of digital alternatives, Supersize Me Movie the cost Supersize Me Movie of professional film equipment and stock was also a hurdle to being able Supersize Me Movie to produce, direct, or star in a Supersize Me Movie traditional studio Supersize Me Movie film. The cost of 35 mm film is outpacing inflation: in 2002 alone, film negative costs were up 23%, according to Variety.[2].
But Supersize Me Movie the advent of consumer camcorders in 1985, and more importantly, the Supersize Me Movie arrival of high-resolution digital Supersize Me Movie video in the early 1990s, Supersize Me Movie have lowered Supersize Me Movie the technology barrier to Supersize Me Movie movie production significantly. Both production and post-production costs have been significantly lowered; today, the hardware Supersize Me Movie and software for Supersize Me Movie post-production can be installed in a commodity-based personal computer. Technologies such as DVDs, FireWire connections and non-linear editing system pro-level software like Adobe Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas and Apple's Final Cut Pro, and consumer level software such as Apple's Final Cut Express and iMovie make movie-making relatively inexpensive.
Since the introduction Chrsitina Model Topless Movie of Supersize Me Movie DV technology, the means of Supersize Me Movie production have become Supersize Me Movie more democratized. Filmmakers can Supersize Me Movie conceivably shoot and edit Supersize Me Movie a movie, create and edit the sound and music, and mix the final cut on a home computer. However, while the means of production may be democratized, financing, distribution, and Supersize Me Movie marketing remain difficult to accomplish outside the traditional Supersize Me Movie system. Most independent Supersize Me Movie filmmakers rely on film Supersize Me Movie festivals to get their films noticed and sold for distribution. The arrival of internet-based video outlets such as YouTube and Veoh has further changed the film Supersize Me Movie making landscape in ways that are still to be Supersize Me Movie determined.
Open content Supersize Me Movie film
Main article: Supersize Me Movie Open content film
An open content film is much like an independent film, Supersize Me Movie but Supersize Me Movie it is produced through open collaborations; its Supersize Me Movie source material is available under a license which is permissive enough to allow other parties to create fan fiction or derivative works, than a traditional copyright. Like independent filmmaking, open source filmmaking takes place outside Supersize Me Movie of Hollywood, or other major studio systems.
Fan film
Main article: Supersize Me Movie Fan film
A fan film is a film or video inspired by a film, television program, comic book or a similar source, Supersize Me Movie created by fans rather than by the source's Supersize Me Movie copyright holders or creators. Fan filmmakers have traditionally been amateurs, but some of the more notable films have actually been produced by professional filmmakers as Supersize Me Movie film Supersize Me Movie school class projects or as demonstration reels. Fan films vary tremendously in length, from short faux-teaser Supersize Me Movie trailers for non-existent motion pictures to rarer full-length motion pictures
Animation is the technique in which each Supersize Me Movie frame of a film is produced individually, whether generated as a computer graphic, or by photographing a drawn image, or by Supersize Me Movie repeatedly Supersize Me Movie making small changes to a model Supersize Me Movie unit (see claymation and stop motion), and then photographing the result with a special animation Supersize Me Movie camera. When the frames are strung together and the resulting film is Supersize Me Movie viewed Supersize Me Movie at a speed Supersize Me Movie of 16 or more frames per second, there is Supersize Me Movie an illusion of continuous movement (due to the persistence of vision). Generating such a film Supersize Me Movie is very labour intensive and tedious, though the development of computer animation has greatly sped up Supersize Me Movie the process.

File formats like GIF, QuickTime, Shockwave and Flash allow animation to be viewed on a computer or Supersize Me Movie over the Internet.
Because animation is very time-consuming and Supersize Me Movie often very expensive to produce, the majority of animation for TV and movies comes from Supersize Me Movie professional animation studios. However, the Supersize Me Movie field Supersize Me Movie of independent animation has existed at least since Supersize Me Movie the 1950s, with animation Supersize Me Movie being produced Supersize Me Movie by independent studios (and sometimes by a single person). Several independent animation producers have gone on to enter the professional animation industry.
Limited animation Supersize Me Movie is a way of increasing production and decreasing Supersize Me Movie costs of animation by Supersize Me Movie using "short Supersize Me Movie cuts" in Supersize Me Movie the animation process. This method was pioneered by UPA and popularized by Hanna-Barbera, and adapted Supersize Me Movie by other studios as cartoons moved from Supersize Me Movie movie theaters to television.[3]
Although most animation studios are now using digital technologies in their productions, there is Supersize Me Movie a specific style of animation that depends on film. Cameraless animation, made famous by moviemakers like Norman McLaren, Len Lye and Stan Brakhage, is painted and drawn directly onto pieces of film, and then run through Supersize Me Movie a projector.
Venues
When it is initially produced, a feature film is often shown to audiences in a movie theater Supersize Me Movie or cinema. The first theater designed exclusively for cinema opened in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1905.[4] Thousands of such theaters were built or converted from existing facilities within a few Supersize Me Movie years.[5] In the United States, these theaters came to be known as nickelodeons, because admission typically Supersize Me Movie cost a nickel Making Supernatural Movie (five cents).
Typically, Supersize Me Movie one film is the featured presentation Supersize Me Movie (or feature film). Before the 1970s, there were "double features"; typically, a high quality "A picture" Supersize Me Movie rented by an independent theater for a lump sum, and Supersize Me Movie a "B picture" of lower quality rented for a percentage of the gross receipts. Today, the bulk of the material shown before Supersize Me Movie the feature Supersize Me Movie film consists of previews for upcoming movies and paid advertisements (also known as trailers or "The Twenty").
Historically, all mass marketed feature films were made to be shown in movie theaters. The development of television has allowed films to be broadcast to larger audiences, usually after the film is no longer being shown in theaters. Recording technology has also enabled consumers to rent or buy copies of X Rated Movie Trailers films on VHS or DVD (and the older formats of laserdisc, VCD and SelectaVision � see also videodisc), and Internet downloads may be available and have started to become revenue sources for the film companies. Some films Supersize Me Movie are now made specifically Supersize Me Movie for these other venues, being released Supersize Me Movie as made-for-TV movies or direct-to-video movies. The production values on these films are often considered to be of inferior quality compared to Supersize Me Movie theatrical releases in Supersize Me Movie similar genres, and indeed, some films that are rejected by their own studios upon completion are distributed through these markets.
The movie theater pays an average Supersize Me Movie of Supersize Me Movie about 50-55% of its ticket sales to the movie Supersize Me Movie studio, as film rental fees.[6] The actual percentage starts with Supersize Me Movie a number higher than that, and decreases as the Supersize Me Movie duration of a film's showing continues, as an incentive to theaters to keep movies in the theater longer. However, today's barrage of highly marketed Supersize Me Movie movies ensures Dom Deluise Movie that most movies are shown in first-run theaters Supersize Me Movie for less than 8 weeks. There are Supersize Me Movie a few movies every year that defy this rule, often limited-release movies that start in only Supersize Me Movie a few theaters and Supersize Me Movie actually grow their Supersize Me Movie theater count through good word-of-mouth and reviews. According to a 2000 study by ABN AMRO, about Supersize Me Movie 26% of Hollywood movie studios' worldwide income came from box office ticket sales; 46% Supersize Me Movie came from VHS and DVD sales to Supersize Me Movie consumers; and Supersize Me Movie 28% came from television (broadcast, cable, Supersize Me Movie and pay-per-view).[6]
Future Supersize Me Movie state
While motion picture films have been around for more than Supersize Me Movie a century, film is still a relative Supersize Me Movie newcomer in the pantheon of fine arts. In the 1950s, when television became widely available, industry analysts predicted the demise of local movie theaters. Despite Supersize Me Movie competition from television's increasing technological Supersize Me Movie sophistication over the 1960s and 1970s, Supersize Me Movie such as the development of color television and large screens, motion picture cinemas continued. Supersize Me Movie In the 1980s, when the widespread availability of inexpensive videocassette recorders enabled people to select films for home viewing, Supersize Me Movie industry analysts again Supersize Me Movie wrongly predicted the death of the local cinemas.
In the 1990s and 2000s the Supersize Me Movie development of digital DVD players, home theater amplification systems with Supersize Me Movie surround sound and Supersize Me Movie subwoofers, and large LCD or plasma screens enabled Supersize Me Movie people to select and view films at home with greatly improved audio and visual Supersize Me Movie reproduction. Supersize Me Movie These new technologies provided audio and visual that in Supersize Me Movie the past only local cinemas had been able to provide: a large, clear widescreen presentation of a film with a full-range, high-quality multi-speaker Supersize Me Movie sound system. Once again industry analysts predicted the demise of the local cinema. Local cinemas will be changing in the 2000s and moving towards Supersize Me Movie digital screens, a new approach which will allow for easier and quicker distribution of Supersize Me Movie films (via Supersize Me Movie satellite or hard disks), a development which may give local theaters a reprieve from Supersize Me Movie their predicted demise.
The cinema now faces a new Supersize Me Movie challenge from home video Supersize Me Movie by the likes Supersize Me Movie of a new DVD format Blu-ray, Supersize Me Movie which can Supersize Me Movie provide full HD 1080p video playback at near cinema quality. Video formats are gradually catching up with the resolutions and quality that film offers, 1080p in Blu-ray offers a pixel resolution of 1920?1080 a leap from the DVD offering of 720?480 Supersize Me Movie and the paltry 330?480 offered by the Theater Movie Dothan Alabama first home video standard VHS. Supersize Me Movie The maximum resolutions that film currently offers Supersize Me Movie are 2485?2970 or 1420?3390, UHD, a future digital video format, will offer a Supersize Me Movie massive resolution of 7680?4320, Supersize Me Movie surpassing all current film Supersize Me Movie resolutions. The only Supersize Me Movie viable competitor to these new innovations is IMAX which can play film content Supersize Me Movie at an Supersize Me Movie extreme 10000?7000 resolution.
Despite the rise of all new technologies, the development of the home video market and a surge of online piracy, 2007 was a record year in film that showed the highest ever box-office grosses. Many expected film to suffer as a result of the effects listed above but it has flourished, strengthening film studio expectations for the future. |
