	Film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Motion pictures were purely visual art up to the late 1920s, but these innovative silent films had gained a hold on the public imagination.
		As a medium, film is not limited to motion pictures, since the technology developed as the basis for photography.
		Romantic motion pictures about a girl loving a guy but not being able to be together for some reason, movies about a hero who fights against all odds a more powerful fiendish enemy, comedies about everyday life, etc. all involve plots with common threads that existed in books, plays and other venues.

		Today, motion pictures (or "movies") are an art form, as well as one of the most popular forms of entertainment.
		Originally moving picture film was shot at various speeds using hand-cranked cameras; then the speed for mechanized cameras and projectors was standardized at 16 frames per second, which was faster than much existing hand-cranked footage.
