Wikipedia

  1. Movie camera

    A movie camera (also known as a film camera and cine-camera) is a type of photographic camera that rapidly takes a sequence of photographs, either on an image sensor or onto film stock, in order to produce a moving image to project onto a movie screen. In contrast to the still camera, which captures a single image at a time, by way of an intermittent mechanism, the movie camera takes a series of images; each image is a frame of film. The strips of frames are projected through a movie projector at a specific frame rate (number of frames per second) to show a moving picture. When projected at a given frame rate, the persistence of vision allows the eyes and brain of the viewer to merge the separate frames into a continuous moving picture.

    A movie camera is a type of photographic device specifically designed to capture a series of images in quick succession, with the intention of creating motion pictures or videos. It records continuous images in real-time, allowing for the production and creation of films, television shows, commercials and other video content. Its components typically include a lens to focus light, a film or digital sensor to record the images, and a system to control the exposure time and frame rate.

  1. Movie camera

    The movie camera is a type of photographic camera which takes a rapid sequence of photographs on strips of film. The video camera has largely replaced it for private use, but for professional purposes, movie cameras are used and produced today, especially for the production of full-feature movies. In contrast to a still camera, which captures a single snapshot at a time, the movie camera takes a series of images; "frame". This is accomplished through an intermittent mechanism. The frames are later played back in a movie projector at a specific speed, called the frame rate. While viewing, a person's eyes and brain merge the separate pictures together to create the illusion of motion.
