Based on the history of film making, the present paper is

meant to show the topic of legendary directors and the

work they have to put on creating from scratch an entire
industry of special effects, optical illusions and talented
actors to create a new form of art that we all enjoy. I have
chosen this topic for my paper because I watch everyday
movies and it is more enjoyable than reading a book
because of the combination between sound and images.
The 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. This optical illusion causes
us to perceive continuous motion
between separate objects viewed rapidly
in succession.
Contemporary definition of cinema is the
art of simulating experiences, that
communicate ideas, stories, perceptions,
feelings, beauty or atmosphere by the
means of recorded or programmed
moving images along with other sensory
stimulations.
Film directors create an overall vision
through which a film eventually
becomes realized. Realizing this vision
includes overseeing the artistic and
technical elements of film production,
as well as directing the shooting
timetable and meeting deadlines. This
entails organizing the film crew in such
a way as to achieve his or her vision
of the film. Moreover, it is necessary to
have an artistic eye to frame shots
and to give precise feedback to cast
and crew, thus, excellent
communication skills are a must.
