Film is a visual art form used to simulate experiences that communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty, or atmosphere through the use of moving images, generally accompanied by sound and (in rare cases) other sensory simulations. These moving images are created by photographing actual scenes with a motion-picture camera, by means of animation, or by a combination of these techniques. Traditional films were recorded onto celluloid stock through a photochemical process and then shown through a projector onto a large screen, while contemporary films are often fully digital through their entire production and screening process. The visual status of cinema gives it a universal power of communication, with specific films being cultural artifacts created by, reflecting, and affecting specific cultures. The motion picture is considered an important art form and a powerful source of entertainment.
