    Film is a series of still images shown in rapid succession that creates the illusion of moving images. A film is created by photographing live action scenes, drawings, computer animation, or a combination of techniques. Films are cultural artifacts that reflect and influence the cultures that create them. Films can be considered an important art form, source of entertainment, and medium for education or indoctrination due to their visual power of communication. While films were originally shot on film stock and projected, digital techniques are now used throughout the filmmaking process.
