What do we mean when we use the word film?
The word film to me means a piece of edited footage which can portray a story of any kind or a sequence in which here is no clear story and narrative to it. These can be of any length from about a 10minute short to a feature film.
Do you think it means the same as the word 'movie'?
The word 'movie' means a piece of footage where a story is broadcast through the movie. The word movie to me means 'visual storytelling'.
And what about the word 'cinema'?
Cinema to me means feature length films which show a story.
