UNIT 8. FILMS READING I. Read the passage and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE. Movies, also referred to as films, can be categorized into various genres, but the production process remains relatively similar. It all begins with a screenwriter who writes a script, outlining the story and dialogue for the actors and actresses. The performers then read the script to learn their lines and actions, which are later captured on camera by a cinematographer under the direction of the film's director. Once filming is complete, an editor assembles the footage, and audio engineers add any necessary music or sound effects. The finished product is then duplicated and distributed to movie theaters, where a projector illuminates the film on a large screen for audiences to view. After the theatrical release, movies may be made available for home viewing through television broadcasts or DVD sales.

A theater with multiple screens is often referred to as a "multi-plex" or "mega-plex," particularly if it has more than ten screens.
