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.

Read the passage and choose the correct answer. A movie theater, also known as a cinema, is a venue where films are shown on a large screen. Viewers typically watch movies while seated in a darkened room, and the film is projected onto the screen using a bright light emitted by an electric projector. A theater with multiple screens is often referred to as a "multi-plex" or "mega-plex," particularly if it has more than ten screens. The first movie theater opened to the public on April 23, 1896, at Koster and Bial's Music Hall on 34th Street in New York City. The world's oldest operating movie theater, which still operates today, is Kino Pionier, which opened in 1907 in Szczecin, Poland. In addition to movie ticket sales, theaters also generate revenue from selling food and drinks such as popcorn, candy, and soft drinks. In recent years, as the cost of movie rentals has increased, theaters have become more creative in how they make money. New theaters are being built with added features such as restaurants, party rooms, arcades, and more. 1. Movies are typically shown in theaters using: A. A radio B. A projector C. A TV D.
