Background

The cinema - a medium through which artistic and documentary content is transmitted through films was invented in 1895 by the Lumière brothers. The technique they used is moving images in rapid succession so that the viewer’s eye feels the effect of movement. The first films were silent films (without sound), and were often accompanied by an orchestra that played in the background of the film projection.
As the first film in which there is real movement is considered that of the Lumière brothers: "The workers’ exit from the Lumière factory in Lyon", a film in which they filmed the workers’ exit from their factories. The film was screened along with 9 other films on December 28, 1895 in a room at the Hôtel Scribe in Paris .
In 1927, the first film accompanied by a soundtrack was released.

The films were shot on films with holes on both sides , holes that made it possible to run the film in the projection machine . With the penetration of digital technology, the industry moved from films to digital technology, so that in fact the films are projected by reading a digital file.

Today, cinema is considered one of the fine arts, competitions are held to choose the best film (Oscar and others), and festivals are held around the world where outstanding films are chosen and prizes are awarded (Cannes, Berlin, Venice and more).

Movies
Motion pictures include a wide variety of fields and types. Feature films tell a story, while documentary films describe a case that happened in reality.
An example of a documentary film is 70414 produced on the occasion of the transition to diesel locomotives in Israel Railways , ,
A whole field of films is animated films, films that were not filmed but drawn. Walt Disney Studios specialized in animated films mainly for children.
An animated film of a different kind, is the film "Yellow Submarine" by The Beatles
Disney studios also produced other films, mainly for children, one of the most famous of which is "Mary Poppins", a film made in 1964 following a book written in 1934

Producing a motion picture involves several steps:
Writing a script - transferring the story to "operating instructions" involved in the production of the film (participants, locations, description of situations and especially the text that the actors say).
Shooting - shooting the film can take long periods and take place in different locations.
Editing - the processing of the raw materials shot into the final movie.

Thrillers
Movies in which the good side usually fights against the bad, while the plot builds tension in the viewer. Many times, usually towards the end, there is a change in the plot, the mysteries are solved, the villains are punished, etc.

One of the greatest creators of suspense and horror films was the British director Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980), who created several masterpieces in the field: North by Northwest, Vertigo, The Birds and more.
