learning English now back to the lesson in English we sometimes use the words film or cinema or the
phrase motion picture to talk about movies in fact the word movies originally came from
a phrase moving pictures because the way that movies were created was as a series of pictures
placed one after the other to give the suggestion of movement there are several words that come up
a lot when we talk about movies let's look at some examples that you can expand your vocabulary with
the first word is genre genre means what kind of movie something is examples of movie genres
include action movies which are about intense stunts car chases and violence and then there
are comedies which are movies which are made to make people laugh romantic movies are about
people falling in love and science fiction movies show us what the future might look like so the
question what kind of movies do you like that's a question about genre for example you could answer
I like science fiction movies I think that genre is very interesting you probably already know
that the people who appear in a movie are called the actors and the people they play in the movie
are called characters but did you know that all the people who appear in a movie they are if you
take them as a group we call it the cast of the movie if you watch Marvel movies you know that
they sometimes have very large casts with many different movie stars in them in order to make
a movie you need something called a script a script is where people write down everything
that will happen in the movie all the action and the special effects and also all the lines that
the different characters in the movie will say a script is also sometimes called a screenplay the
plot is the story of what happens in the movie if you've ever seen the movie Titanic the main
plot of that movie is that a passenger ship hits an iceberg and sinks one of the other plots in
the movie is that two characters Jack and Rose meet and fall in love but only Rose survives the
sinking of the ship and one more word is seen a scene is a small part or sequence in a movie for
example there is a scene in Titanic where Jack and Rose first meet every movie has an opening scene
