An Introduction to Cinema

In the traditional context, the cinema is referred to as the venue where films are exhibited, but generally people would define the cinema to be the actual building, or more typically the industry of video-based live performance (i.e. plays, musicals, etc.) With the development of cinema technology, the boundaries between art and commerce were blurred until the term cinema was eventually adopted by general use. By this stage, cinema had developed into its own industry and the term was generally used to refer to any new creation of cinema that came onto the market. Hence, the term 'ceremony'.

The advent of cinema has triggered changes within the social and cultural context of human beings and also within the scientific language of cinema. As early as the 1900s, filmmakers were aware that the way they presented the images and stories meant something, even if they did not necessarily have a scientific understanding of how to do so. In this context, cinema provides a medium through which societal messages can be passed to audiences on a conscious or unconscious level. And cinema's great success has, over time, given it the status of an international art form with wide appeal not only to the general public but also to film scholars conducting studies in this field.

Moving images, whether captured on film or on television, have the power to influence our emotions and behavior. This is why, from a psychological point of view, cinema is considered to be one of the most powerful influencing factors on society today. More than just a medium for communicating ideas, cinema creates images that give people a feeling of what they are feeling or what they are thinking at that particular moment in time. It therefore follows that the study of cinema should be influenced by the study of psychology, particularly interpersonal relationships.

A number of theories have been formulated to describe how cinema communicates with its viewers. According to the Logical Point of View (LPO), cinema communicates information by manipulating the senses in some way. According to this line of thinking, cinema is an art form that encourages a person to interpret images as symbolic representations of certain values. Other philosophers, however, believe that cinema communicates information using the sensory experience of sight, sound, and memory.

For both definitions of cinema to be accurate, it is important to note that the cinema is a very subjective art form and that the interpretation of movies is up to the viewers themselves. For example, while some viewers may see a movie theater as a place where they can relax and be entertained, other viewers would see it as a place where they can learn about the concepts depicted in the film. This can be seen in the differences between films that tell a story and those that depict acts of violence and those that portray love and romance. Overall, the LPO believes that cinema is more of an experience than a communication tool, expressing feelings in a non-verbal manner.

In addition to the philosophical arguments presented above, there are also technological aspects of cinema that are frequently called into question. One such example is the aspect ratio in current cinemas. The aspect ratio refers to the number of pixels used to describe a scene on the screen. Generally, the aspect ratio is around 16:9, which makes cinema displays look more realistic and can result in a better eye-presence for viewers. However, some filmmakers argue that this ratio puts the movie at a disadvantage because computer monitors are able to display images at a much sharper and cleaner resolution than traditional cinema screens.
