Films are made by recording images of actors and scenery using cameras, animation techniques and special effects. In the late 1900s, computers became a key resource for making a movie. Films are made up of a series of individual images called frames. Silent, black-and-white movies were made as far back at the late 1800s. In the 1920s, films in the United States flourished with the rise of Hollywood, in southern California. Sound was added to movies at that time, and color eventually was used as an alternative to black-and-white. Customers buy a movie ticket at a movie theater and can choose from a number of showtimes. Films, featuring "movie stars," are distributed by movie studios, which are large production companies. Movie reviews, written by film critics, appear regularly via numerous media outlets and can have a major effect on the success of a film and how much money is made.
