    Vocabulary: let's go to the cinema!


    When arriving in front of a cinema/ movie theatre you must first choose your film. You may have made your choice on a magazine ( "What's on?") or on the Internet. In all cases, you'll have to stand in the line ( to queue up) corresponding to the film you have chosen. 

    Entering the movie theatre, you may be surprised by its size and by that of the screen.  

     

                                                                     

                                        A cinema/ a movie theatre                                     Cinema/ movie ticket

    In order to make a good, or if possible a perfect film, many people give their best for their future audience:

     a film director 
     to direct a film
     to release a film
     to dub
     a subtitle
     a shooting
     a film maker
     a producer a technician
     an extra a scriptwriter
     a camera operator  a make-up artist 
     a costume designer  a propsmaster 
     a stuntman a stunt 
     the lead actor/ actress  the supporting role/part 
     a minor role the cast

     

    When you want to watch a foreign film, you have to make a choice between two possibilities:

    -        You may choose a film where the dialogues are dubbed, which means that you can hear the dialogues in your own language, while you can't really lip-read them. 

    -         Or, you may choose to follow the film in its original language, in O. V. (in the "original version" ), listening to "the original soundtrack"

     

                                                                                 

                                                                                                     This film is subtitled

     

    There are many types of films: 

       
      
                     Silent films

              Black and White films        

                 A cartoon
