Film crew : The group of people who perform specialized technical and logistical roles in a film production. Crew departments coordinate the practical work behind each shooting day.
Eadweard Muybridge : A photographer whose sequential images of motion helped establish the study and representation of movement. His motion studies demonstrated how photography could break movement into successive images.
Documentary film : A nonfiction motion picture that presents or investigates real people, events, or conditions. Documentary production uses filmmaking to shape accounts of the real world.
Film genre : A category of films organized by recurring conventions of subject, style, or audience expectation. Genre conventions influence which stories get made and how audiences interpret them.
Cinematography : The craft of creating moving images through camera placement, lens choice, lighting, and movement. Camera and lighting choices shape how each scene appears on screen.
Film director : The artist who guides a film’s performances and overall creative interpretation. The director aligns acting, camera work, and design with the film’s intended vision.
Lumière brothers : Auguste and Louis Lumière, French inventors and filmmakers associated with early public motion-picture screenings. Their screenings helped establish cinema as a public exhibition medium.
Animation : The creation of moving images by displaying successive drawings, models, or digitally generated frames. Animation produces motion without requiring photographed live-action performance.
