The process of film production thus reflects different conceptions of what a film is, and the finished film inevitably bears traces of the mode of production within which it created. 1 Film encompasses individual motion pictures, the field of film as an art form, and the motion picture industry. Films are produced by recording images from the world with cameras, or by creating images using animation techniques or special effects. Films are cultural artefacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and, in turn, affect them. Film considered an important art form, a source of popular entertainment and a powerful method for educating or indoctrinating citizens. The visual elements of cinema give motion pictures a universal power of communication. Some films have become popular worldwide attractions by using dubbing or subtitles that translate the dialogue. 2 1 David Bordwell, and Kristin Thompson, Film Art an Introduction fourth edition, McGraw- Hill, 1993, p.23 2 http:en.wikipedia.orgdefinition of filmMain Page .
