Knowra Live-action film Live-action film A motion picture made primarily from images of performances or events recorded in the physical world. It may also use animation or computer-generated imagery.
Cinematography : The art and practice of capturing moving images, including choices of camera, lens, lighting, and composition. Camera placement and lighting determine how recorded performances appear on screen.
Photography : The practice of producing images by recording light, usually on a sensor or light-sensitive material. Live-action images extend photographic recording across time.
Animation : The creation of moving images by displaying a sequence of individually made or manipulated images. Animation constructs motion image by image rather than primarily recording physical performances.
Narrative film : A film organized around a fictional or dramatized story and its characters. It is a major live-action form built around performed stories.
Film editing : The selection and arrangement of shots into a coherent sequence. Editing turns separately recorded moments into a film's pace and continuity.
Film stock : Light-sensitive material used to record images in a motion-picture camera. Photochemical live-action filmmaking records physical scenes directly onto film stock.
Documentary film : A nonfiction motion picture that presents and interprets actual people, events, or conditions. It is a live-action form whose relationship to recorded events is central.
Action film : A film genre centered on physical feats, danger, and kinetic set pieces. Its stunts and choreography make physical performance especially visible.
Sound recording : The capture of audio for later playback, processing, or synchronization with images. Recorded dialogue and location sound can preserve or reshape the physical scene.
Digital cinematography : The capture of moving images as digital data rather than as photochemical exposures on film. It offers a major recording method distinct from photochemical capture.
