Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answers
When we go and watch a movie in the cinema, we see real people moving and talking on a big screen in front of
us. But how are movies filmed and shown to us? In actual fact, movies do not really ‘move’ like we think they do. It is
our eyes that play tricks on us and make the movies look as if they are moving.
A movie is filmed using a camera which takes pictures at a very fast speed. The camera can take 24 pictures in
one second! If it is taking pictures of somebody walking, the pictures will show the different movements of the person
in that one second. Since the pictures are taken so quickly, the difference between each picture is very slight.
The pictures are developed into long strips of film which are then shown, using a film projector. As we watch, 24
pictures flash before our eyes every second. The pictures go by so fast that we cannot see each one by itself. What we
see is just one picture that seems to move. Our eyes play a part by blending the pictures with each other.
The same method applies to cartoons. In a cartoon, instead of taking pictures of real people, the camera takes
pictures of drawings. Many drawings have to be made just to show a simple action. Each drawing is again made only
slightly different from the others. The drawings are then photographed orderly. When everything is complete and the
cartoon is shown, it also looks as though the characters are really moving.
16. What do we often think we see in the cinema ?
A. Photographs of people B. A big screen C. People moving in a picture D. Camera tricks
17. If a person is acting in a movie, he ______.
A. has to move in slow motion B. has to move on a big screen
C. gets many pictures of him taken D. moves 24 times in one second
18. What is the difference between each of the 24 pictures ?
A. Very unusual B. Very small C. Very large D. Very rough
19. What do our eyes do when we watch a movie ?
A. They join many pictures into one. B. They move with the pictures.
C. They mix the pictures up. D. They take pictures of the movie.
20. To film a cartoon, ______ have to be photographed.
A. people B. actions C. characters D. drawings
