Animation GIFs: A type of graphic picture that plays a succession of static images
in a continuous and sequential manner. The growing number of apps available in the
market has made it easier to create animated GIFs.

Film/Cinema: A film, motion picture, or movie is a compilation of static images on
film that are rapidly and sequentially projected onto a screen using light.

Documentary Film: A non-fictional film that tries to “document reality, primarily
for the purposes of instruction, education, or maintaining a historical record”. For
example, a wildlife documentary film.

News Report: Newspapers frequently include reports with the objective of keeping
readers informed about local events. You must follow a precise format when writing
news stories/reports. This construction is also known as the Inverted Pyramid.

Interactive Video: A sort of moving image that allows viewers to interact with the
video’s content directly. There are various ways to interact with an interactive video
than simply pressing play or pause.

Interview: A moving image that contains information about the person being
interviewed. Interviews can be more personal than narrations and convey a more
authentic tone.

Moving pictures are often referred to as cinema. In fact, cinema now refers more broadly to both the structure
in which films are viewed and the film producing process.

Production of Moving Images

Now that we have understood about camera shots, angles and moving images, let us now move to the
production of moving images. This involves activities such as recording sound, editing both picture and sound,
creating special effects, adding titles and credits and producing animation.

Recording speech + images comprise recording the sound associated with a photograph on a photographic
strip of film, usually but not always on the same strip as the photograph. Nowadays, various techniques are
available which can record a digital or analogue sound track, as well as a magnetic or optical signal.
The art and design of movie title sequences is known as “film title design”. It has been an integral part of every
motion picture since the invention of film. It gradually evolved from title art, a static work of art, to a distinct
art form (Recall 2012 and the Iron Man movies!)
Film credits recognise on-screen and behind-the-scenes talent. They are made up of several specialists who
perform a number of tasks to generate films.
