Film as an Art

Film is a medium of art. It is the combination of literature, art and science. But is quite interesting to note that cinema was born only after all the other art forms had already existed in the world. Therefore, cinema has borrowed elements from all the existing art forms, hence called the borrowed art. Some borrowed art forms from other media:

• Painting – colours, sketches and lines, composition, framing, perspective and depth
• Literature – the art of writing words, dialogues, language, similes, metaphors, different isms (वादहरु), psychology and philosophy, etc.
• Drama – acting, mime, pantomime, different backdrops, set design, physical actions and behaviour, limitations of space and sets, delivery of dialogues, lighting, patterns, etc.
• Music – singing, dancing, background music, musical notes and effects, rhythms, etc.
• Architecture – set design, backdrop motifs, texture, etc.
• Science – photography, lighting, processing, printing, intensity controlling, editing, dubbing, sound transferring, animation, mixing, colour correction, projection, exposition or picturizing the visuals, etc.
