电影,也称映画,是由活动照相术和幻灯放映术结合发展起来的一门现代艺术。电影是一门可以容纳文学戏剧、摄影、绘画、音乐、舞蹈、文字、雕塑、建筑等多种艺术的综合艺术,但它又具有独特的艺术特征。电影在艺术表现力上除了具有其它各门艺术的特征,又因可以运用蒙太奇这种艺术性极强的电影剪接技巧,而具有超越其它一切艺术的表现手段。
A film,also called a movie or motion picture,is a series of still images which,when shown on a screen,creates the illusion of moving images due to phi phenomenon.A film is created by photographing actual scenes with a motion picture camera;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.
电影,亦称影片或映画,是一系列静止图像在屏幕上播放时由于似动现象而显示动态的现象。电影可通过摄像机拍摄真实场景,运用传统动画技术拍摄图片或微型模型,利用计算机动画和电脑特效,或者综合以上技术的几种或全部以及其他视觉特效来制作。
The individual images that make up a film are called frames.During projection,a rotating shutter causes intervals of darkness as each frame in turn is moved into position to be projected,but the viewer does not notice the interruptions because of an effect known as persistence of vision,whereby the eye retains a visual image for a fraction of a second after the source has been removed.The perception of motion is due to a psychological effect called beta movement.
组成影片的每个镜像叫镜头。在影片播放中,快门旋转的时候,每个镜像交替之间,会产生短暂的黑暗空白,但是观众因为视觉暂留而感受不到,也就是镜像交替的时候,视觉会在原来的图像停留数秒。这种运动知觉在心理效应上,叫做似动现象。
Films are cultural artifacts created by specific cultures.They reflect those cultures,and,in turn,affect them.Film is considered to be an important art form,a source of popular entertainment,and a powerful medium for educating.The visual basis of film gives it a universal power of communication.Some films have become popular worldwide attractions by using dubbing or subtitles to translate the dialog into the language of the viewer.
电影是特定文化的产物。它可以反映这些文化,也会对这些文化产生一定影响。电影被认为是一门重要的艺术形式,它是一种大众娱乐方式,一种强大的教育传播媒体。电影的视觉功能提供全面的沟通能力。通过配音或翻译成其他语言,一些电影风靡全球。
